Mighty tas rolla Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 well this is only a thing a group of mates in the country do is try to build the fastest racecar under 1.6l then do time trials so basicaly its anything goes except from the out side it has to look like a car so all panels lights grille that kinda thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Wheel nuts? :cool: Porsche's have magnesium wheelnuts, ~4 times lighter than steel ones! crazy to feel the weight of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-ke20 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 There was a susuki i think motor bike 750cc if i remem right that had every bolt drilled out from factory to save 10kgs i think... so all the bolts were like a banjo bolt! just bust out the pistol drill and do that , and add some speed holes while your at it! :POSTPICS!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Do what I have seen on many Mini's. Take a drill to it and make it swiss cheese. Just be very careful when opening doors . . . there very very flexible. Latest one I came across was picked up by two people :POSTPICS!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty tas rolla Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 thanks for all the responses I'm planning on going ultra light with lexen rear and side windows, no rear or passenger seat, rid the car of sound deadening carpet most of the dash and all the other bits that don't need to be on a rally car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) don't drill holes in the chassis rails. work out where you REALLY save weight in kilos, and go do that first rather than spend ages taking grams out.
