Reducing Weight Of M35 Stagea's

[bigkevracer]

Best way for me to lighten my car is to go on a diet... So easy to forget that.

There isn't much you could do on these cars without ruining them. The Varstoen wheels might be a k or two heavier than Volks, but nothing significant. Battery wouldnt be much heavier than an Odyssey. Im sure the Akebonos aren't the lightest calipers, etc.

But you'll drop 10-20kg and blow a lot of cash doing it. I don't really see the point on these.

Fair enough. Just an idea and something I do on all my cars. I understand what everyone is saying and have never owned a car this big before where minor weight loss is so insignificant..

The question you have to ask yourself before you do any mod is, what is the cars main use, why i want to do the mod and what are the benifits/gains?

If its a track car.. I don't know why you would choose a stagea as a base for a track car, but anyway. (Just for discussion)

Go to town, scrap electric seats, sound deadening, carpet, FRP and titanium.

But if its a daily driver/family wagon.

You would have better gains dropping a drill bit through the boost solenoid then ruining a well built factory machine.

Weight reduction belongs on a race track.. And it's the only place you will see any benifits without adversely affecting the driving experience

Funny thread , is funny.

Stag's are heavy, add more power, so you can tow race car.

or if you are like me and can only have one car, pretend it's a race car and embarrass as many coupes as possible. Helps if you have a real gearbox.
