i dont want to take out the a/c and things will be neccessary for daily drive....
and i know c/f hood/console, Titenium exhaust system(amsue exhaust)lol, wat else?
and since my hood is already made of alumiunum i dont think cf hood will do lotz of good?
anybody can tell me wat else can i do to make the car lighter?

 

Buy the CF doors, only $7000

Waiting on a CF hatch too.

Take out spare tire.

 

What kind of 1/4 and 0-60 do you guys think we would be seeing if we lost 300lbs?

 

cf hatch?
how much is that?
any other suggestions?

 

CF hood doesnt weigh much less then the stock :-/

 

Pair of racing seats.
Get rid of spares and tools.
Get rid of carpets.
Lighter wheels.
Lighter radiator.
Lighter battery.
Get rid of front and rear reinforcement.
Carbon hatch and Carbon doors (if you have the cash)

 

-300lbs
1/4 Mi.
0-60
Anyone?

 

I have always heard that the rule of thumb is you will shave 0.10 seconds from your 1/4 mi. times for every 100 lbs. you lose on an average car.

 

For approximating the best 0-60 and 1/4 time improvements you can simply scale the base times by the ratio of the weight reduction. I.e., 300 lbs is about 10% of the Z weight so that should be roughly .5 sec for the 0-60 and roughly 1.4 sec for the 1/4. You probably won't actually see improvements this large because of the other factors affecting these acceleration times like the slight lag time during shifts, aero drag during the later half of the 1/4, driver reaction time, rolling resistance, wheel slip, etc.

It also makes a difference where the weight reduction comes from. If it's predominantly from rotating elements like the flywheel, pulleys, and wheels the potential improvement is actually higher because you're overcoming translational and rotational inertia. For the large diameter wheels that are in vague these days this can be a large factor.

Unfortunately it's tough to measure the weight effect without actually doing the accel's. Unlike power/drive train mods where a dyno can be done to provide a specific number. I suspect this why there seems to be more interest in the hp number than the actual accel numbers for the enthusiasts.

I was on a date this past weekend. Wasn't going to well, and I wanted to get home quickly, so I lightened my load by about 110lbs.............kicked the B!tch OUT!!!

 

Loosing weight in front of the front tires will make abigger difference than loosing weight in the middle of the car.

 

Want to get rid of 110 LBs of unsightly, un-needed weight?



Cut off your head.


(old joke).

 

''fanatic I was on a date this past weekend. Wasn't going to well, and I wanted to get home quickly, so I lightened my load by about 110lbs.............kicked the B!tch OUT!!!''

 

Thanks for the responses.
Fanatic you cracked my **** up.

 

depends on the type of CF hood. A quality dry carbon piece from Amuse can save 10+ lbs.

 

By replacing things such as Cats with Test pipes, Intake, Headers/Heat shields and flywheel you are dropping weight. Also replace the battery with a lighter one.

 

Hahaha Konverter I agree with you. The best way is to go on a diet. Its free, actually you save money.

 

There's always the sawsall.
