Weight saving, rough estimate please ?

[r8byb]

182 wheels changed to trophy speedlines
Front seats changed to Sparco Rev's (8.5kg each)
Rear seats and all fixing's removed, iso bar etc
Boot carpet
parcel shelf removed
Jack etc removed
Standard exhaust removed and Janspeed fitted with de-cat
bonnet insulation and engine cover removed

I was think that little lot about 60kg ? So probably gaining about 6 - 7 bhp per tonne over standard ?

Cheers

60-70kg

Guessing the wheels and seats will have set you back about a £1000?

So if you think about it, 1k for a guess of 6 - 7 bhp equivalent isnt cheap compared to trying to add more horses


Not knocking weight saving, lots of other advantages too like handling etc and defo the way to go

 

[MarkCup]

Yep, 60 or so sounds about right.

To get the same from engine mods you'd need to add almost 12bhp.

 

[r8byb]

Christ so 60kg loss you gain roughly 12bhp/tonne.

angelworks inlet and a remap and should be pushing 20bhp/tonne over standard then

Nope got the trophy wheels for 340 and seats for 200 so just over 500, seats will hold me in better too so there is a benefit there. and i sold my 182 wheels for 340 so really the wheels cost me nothing.

I agree 1k would be alot

£500. 12bhp. Bargain.
