wardy18 33 1 Cars Posted May 13, 2009 wow so mine seems pretty damn light then.... lol dont reslly think there's anymore ways of reducing it further, not aloud to drill holes!! gonna get rid of the alternator as soon as i get some spare varley red top 25 batteries, that should be a good few kgs saved so maybe down to 735kg ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batfink 201 Posted May 14, 2009 Thats a really good weight I think Colin Satchells old car was just under 700kg, but it had been on a hole cutter diet. I'm hoping for 650kg with major surgery to the bodyshell, though I have no inner skin so its pretty extreme... Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wardy18 33 1 Cars Posted May 14, 2009 I'm very dubious of cutting holes and removing panels etc, just seems the cars are thin and flexible enough as they are! What have u removed skin and panel wise? The msa doesn't allow u to cut any weight savings holes for hillclimb anyway according to the blue book, only for running interior lines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batfink 201 Posted May 14, 2009 Well I have a full Group A cage in so not worried about safety or torsional strength Basically all the inner skin from the doors back has been cut away. I'll be working on the doors next and some of the front panels (but theres not a lot to remove here) heres a rubbish picture of the rear. Certainly not something to do on a car used on the road!!

wardy18 33 1 Cars Posted May 14, 2009 holy sh*te...... those rear quarters must be pretty flimsy?! great idea thou, i need to get my cage properly welded in, its only bolted at the moment!! not sure i can get away with removing that much when it comes to the msa regs whats that 205 used for?

Its currently in a shed collecting dirt and dust as it awaits its gearbox. To be honest its not going to be allowed in much as its rather unique but I'm building it specially for the LMA eurosaloons.
