Iceburg Cup *Superleggera Content*

[Chris205]

Recently changed my wheels from turini's to these to save a little bit of weight, Cup is currently stripped at the rear awaiting the next phase of weight reduction. Currently sitting at exactly 1000 kg's with the air-con still to come out

Again sorry for the poor quality pics, Iphone wasn't really the best choice to take pics on

Lookin very nice,thinkin of doin my wheels original silver,looks cleaner I think.

 

[-J-]

Looks well on them, are you running Xenons?

 

[Chris205]

Just H.I.D's mate, going to get somemore propper xenons though

 

[Nick172Cup]

Wheels look good, looks like you need tyres though, bet them rubber bands are horrible to drive on.

Seems mad to take the aircon off also on a reasonably rare car, but it's your car and all that jazz.

 

[Cookson]

Looking lovely fella.

A nice subtle change from sheep rims

 

[davo172]

Nice Chris VERY nice :approve:

nice to see something different . Lucky find with the wheels wish you could still get these new

Much better than ultralegs IMO

Strip the car to save weight, interior, air con etc and then fit Xenons / H.I.D's You Northerners are backwards

I must admit f you do lots of driving in the Night, Xenons are nice though...

Car has some nice rake going on

There is barely any weight in the ballasts mate so not really bothered ha

 

[Šįk]

I like!

 

[Rob]

There's no weight in the ballasts... but you're taking the optional aircon out of a cup (pretty rare option)... how much do you think the aircon weights and how much do you think you're really going to notice it?

Car looks good on those wheels though.

 

[st3ve]

I would leave the aircon on if I was you, other than that, crack on.

 

[.Kev.]

Love these wheels, look like they could do with some TLC though.

20kg to be lost in the air con alone mate, doesnt sound much but when the rest of the remaining furniture is removed it should make a healthy difference.

About it being a rare extra, to me it doesnt seem like a propper cup unless its got no air-con, that and the fact I dont even think it works and never once needed to use it over the summer.

Love these wheels, look like they could do with some TLC though.

Cheers mate, yeah they could do with a refurb some time soon, car is coming off the road in the winter for a bit of TLC as it's getting on now I'll be replacing a lot of worn parts so next year it should feel brand new again

 

[Chris205]

Thanks for the comments guys, think I'll try get together with Austin-182 over the weekend and get some propper pictures of it

 

[Chris205]

looks well on them dude! whats next for it?

Well mate I got hold of another BTB exhaust for it, saving up for some billstein or KW coilovers, taking it off the road for the winter so going to be powerflexing as many bushes as I can, powdercoat the subframe and hopefully get some nice seats and 4 pots on before next summer

 

[Ralphizzle]

to me it doesn't seem like a proper Cup unless its got no air-con

My HERO!

O.Z. Superleggera / O.Z. Ultraleggera = O.Z. F1 derived = WIN!

 

[Will.]

Very tasty

 

[leewxm]

tidy that....air con is for wimps anyway :rasp:

 

[p@blo]

Chris, are you going to fit an dynamique spoiler to save some more weight?

 

[Chris205]

Wasn't particularly on my list of things to do as it's a cup I'd prefer to keep it looking that way, just losing weight here and there with things that I dont need or want

Because a cup spoiler gives more downforce over the dynamique one? What % increase in grip are it giving you?

lol enough downforce to put an f1 car to shame, don't even get me started about the trophy spoiler, you put that on and the front end starts lifting, unless you've got a cup splitter, then it evens the load

 

[walkie86]

Awesome wheels 8)
