are u allowed to remove 1 light from front and rear, so there is only 1 light on front and 1 on back????
is it legal to have lights headlights, rear ligts removed?
The cup racers would have different gearbox, wheels, fuel cell etc (taking into account a roll cage weighs a little bit too) you will be quite hard pressed to match one for weight!
get perspex windows, and drill holes in them to save even more weight
i was driving a Cup racer at Bedford on Tuesday - i spoke to one of the mechanics about it. it has same engine ecu is upgraded. Much better exzorst system runs between 180-185 BHP. Second time i have driven one had it on the track for 20 mins. Though it does run on LPG... Managed a time of 85.50 seconds round the west circuit. Not bad i thought. There is bugger all in it 2 seat & roll cage. Left hand drive & sequential box very hard to master at first when the palmer instructor is barking at you to floor it But the JP1 Jag fac me thats another story - .....How fast!! 0-100 in 6.8 Maclaren F1 fast Figures for the Cup racer are 0-60 4.1 0-100 10 secs 148mph. Only problem is it funs on semi road tyres not slicks & the rev limiter is set to 6.5 k not 8k like the Cup racers built for the race series - other than that exactly the same as each other.
Get a lightweight racing battery and ss exhaust.
Get rid of the Cat
lose the rear wiper and motor
Mats
Drill holes in anything that is not structural
Lightweigh tyres and magnesium wheels
Any unsprung weight removed counts as double weight saving.
Single wiper conversion
Passenger wing mirror
Sun shades
In the winter take out the cooling fan over the radiator
Fill tyres with helium instead of air
Buy a westfield!

LoL, but totally impractical!
Dad sold his, real shame, but did sit in garage for most of the time. Was quick though, had 230bhp from an SBD 2.0 16v Vauxhall. Only weighed 550kg.
What ya mean quick, that would be silly!
Caterham JPE had a de tuned John Clelland BTCC lump init making 230bhp dont know how much it weighed, but they did 0-100-0 in just over 8sec!!
control it by radio control from a following car
197
Best idea so far Stromba, and in my case would save 98.4kg (weighed myself in Boots today - still a fat b*****d, then). However, what car would you drive in behind that could possibly keep up? Would your Volvo 340 1.7 (theyre ace) suffice?
Weld boot closed. Saving weight on locks and cabling.
Remove the underseal on the car.
Remove the mug guards.
Strip the paint of for that shiny metal look.
Remove eveny possible electric item central locking, alarm, radio, speakers, electric windows motors and wiring,
Replace all the remaining wire with thinner guage stuff and direclty root all the cable.
Remove the spoiler, side skirts, splitter.
Ligther smaller radiator. Who cares if the engine runs hot.
