does it make much difference to permormance if you strip out some excess shit?

i.e. spare wheel & tool kit etc etc? :-k

any one know of anything else?

back seats parcel shelf spare wheel plus carpet and everything in the boot ... passenger seat ?

haha unless your runnin major power i dont think itll make much difference.

hmmm. then were would my girl friend have to sit

Any major weight loss would have a positive effect on the cars performance....

Its all a question of power to weight ratio...

105 weighs about 1300-1500kg...with 101bhp = shite power/weight ratio!!!

If you have a light driver (about 60-75kg), and strip out the rear seats, spare wheel, bonnet replaced with carbon or perspex....and general shit like no ICE at all...


But then thats no use for day to day driving!!!

Another thing.....thats why my zed is slow....cos im a fat git!!!


Simple.....or maybe its cos ive got only 114bhp...

Hmm.....diet anyone?

 

[mike4]

it is a nice thought tho, if only it were as simple as taking out the spare wheel and tool kit!

 

[mike4]

how did yours go to 115bhp? what mods you done?

 

[Big Slick]

What ya areally want is MORE POWER and a lighter car like the Saxo (under 1000kg)....but who wants a Saxo???.....not me anymore!!! he he he........


Cars like VW, Audi are like tanks.....weigh a fookin shite load but most have a substancial power wedge...

F1....weigh about 600-750kg but with a 600bhp lump made from carbon or some other light shit...

Same principal with bikes....heavy rider = less performance!

how did yours go to 115bhp? what mods you done?

Got a BMC Carbon filter and a Blueflame back box...and me zeds been RR at 114bhp @6000rpm

 

[haggisman]

take out the spare wheel an the parcel shelf an the carpet an ur car sounds louder, well i got same mods as gil but it now sounds deeper inside, well cool!

go mad i had a little stage in my cars life where i jsut stripped it out completely oops: , no dash, no passenger/rear seats, doors cards, boot linings, parcel shelf, spare wheel, tool kit and anything else i could. It was MAD :twisted: LOADS of noise, noticably quicker and it started to slightly oversteer :mrsmiley: \/

 

[mike4]

how much did you notice the speed?

 

[mike4]

im wanna reduce the weight but not make it look completely bare as a freshly shaven kitten

105 weighs about 1300-1500kg...with 101bhp = shite power/weight ratio!!!

You mean more like 1020kg, even the 1.8 is only 1030kg.
