May 3, 200818 yr Author comment_243753 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 Report

May 5, 200818 yr comment_244239 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!: Report
May 5, 200818 yr comment_244241 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!: Report

May 12, 200818 yr Author comment_245952 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 Report
May 13, 200818 yr comment_246103 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. Edited May 13, 200818 yr by styler Report
