[cat171]

It was in totally the wrong section, but yeah nice one.

 

[clio_luke]

not good for daily driver tho. worth doing for the odd track day but not day to day driving

 

[Spiezels]

Niiiiiiiice Lovely colour. Wheels suite it well.

 

[Adey.]

[clio_luke]

u should see how bare my daily is getting if you think thats bad lol

true, depends what you need it for day to day i guess.
i used to only have a dash as interior on mine last year, situations change tho and it was so noisy. lol. no carpet, headlining, sound proofing, nothing. lol.
much prefer it all back in

 

[clio_luke]

get rid of the engine hoists and the seatbelt buckles, got another 2kg there!

 

[Coby.]

LOL.... I just couldn't do it to my Car but it does make difference

 

[Fletcher]

Good stuff, i bet the back feels quite a bit lighter when driving.

 

[Brasseye]

Bet that feels lighter ..........!!

some ones nicked your sub though !!

 

[Mr.AdamB]

so thats about 175bhp\tonne now?

 

[MarkCup]

Nice one. Keep going there, loads more to be had if you can live with it.

I'm up to 24 free bhp just from weight loss.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Is this a track car then?

Don't see the point for 7bhp per tonne otherwise.

 

[Juego]

I've been considering doing this aswell myself and loosing all sound deadening, but too lazy to start and my rents would moan about it cluttering the house haha

 

[jesus]

bit extreme if you ask me

 

[Jamie]

Agree with Luke, I stripped mine out then soon put it all back again when I couldn't bare to live with the noise and rattles.

 

[Rob 88]

Get a bit of carpet for the noise wimps

 

[ditz]

where did you get that bit of carpet rob??

i NEED to do that to my car

 

[ben24]

i cant see how that is all 46 kg

looks good though

 

[LegoHead]

i cant see how that is all 46 kg

looks good though

It all adds up!

Next job on my list is stripping the car out for free horsies.

 

[Iridium]

yep, makes a difference.
not good for daily driver tho. worth doing for the odd track day but not day to day driving

Agreed - Personally I'd want it no more than that, totally reverseable and relatively quick to do I'd have thought...?

[DrR]

Nah my daily driver, but as I pretty much only drive on B-roads it's fine, your right thouhg it's loud!

It's not changing the wheels was 12kg of that

interior was 34kg. Seats are well heavy.

 

[Whiteley]

Good man. You still doing Marham next month?

I'll have to lose some KG's to keep up!

 

[DrR]

Oh yes i'll be there!

 

[Rob 88]

I made it myself, ill make you one for £30 posted.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

[Rob 88]

Not decided if i'm gonna go all out. I'll see how i manage like this.

 

[Jay Payne]

You have barely scratched the surface tbh.

Nice start tho, does make them noisy

 

[DrR]

Also for insurance reasons, i just took stuff out so i could carry things

 

[Inferno]

bit extreme if you ask me

+1

 

[Hutchie]

[MarkCup]

lol, thats true, but it wasen't nice with a completely bare car, milltek exhaust (decatted), rattling top mounts etc. it was hell

 

[Adey.]

i drive a bare car with decat and cat back, itbs and a roll cage, all day everyday, doesnt bother me, i actually have no rattles now, ive kept the front speakers and stereo tho

 

[eggy790]

ok after getting all that out, what else is heavy? apart from the seats?

 

[Adey.]

sound deadning, foam under front carpets, wiring and ac if u have it, then theres glass that can be switched for lexan
