How many humans here take out their spare tyre to reduce weight?

[axispower]

I was just reading the "new to modding cars" thread in this section (bored at work) and I'm up to weight reduction, power to weight ratio.

How many humans here actually take out their spare tyre to reduce weight? I've always thought about doing it...

[curtis265]

It doesn't matter what the rest of us do, you need to ask yourself: is it worth it waiting for a tow truck/friend aid because you don't have a spare?

[axispower]

^already asked myself that sir. forgive me for asking what the rest of you do just wondering.

[lolmclol]

I removed my bonnet and replaced with security fly-wire for better cooling and huge weight reducation

[mocchi]

ditch spare tire
use run-flat tires

wyn

[curtis265]

come to think of it, t he toyota 86 doesn't have a spare tyre, only a puncture repair kit

[EKVTIR-T]

yep,I just carry this

You have an interior... Get with the program...

[DreadAngel]

Serious though...

Leave the spare inside the car on daily, definitely leave it for the spirited runs, that's where you usually get punctures and you will have issues getting help up in the mountains...

When tracking then obviously take the spare out when you arrive ;)

[Drifter995]

I took my spare out, mainly so I could fit things in the spare wheel hole. Will get a space saver wheel, get a bag for it and put it behind the passenger side seat though.
I've buggered a tyre running on it flat cause of that sole reason (Well, I also completely forgot it was flat and drove on it >.>)

[bennjamin]

either go all out (like race car) or dont bother at all. IT wont make a difference to performance and is needed for those rare occasions of a flat tyre.

[axispower]

fair points

[DC2-PWR]

no point taking spare out on a accord family car

[connorling]

It doesn't matter what the rest of us do, you need to ask yourself: is it worth it waiting for a tow truck/friend aid because you don't have a spare?

and tell the cops u are waiting for a mate.

[axispower]

haha yes

[connorling]

seriously tho, if u only take the spare wheel out, not much difference u make.

i would leave it.

when i first got my civic eg 5 years ago, i did that, and i accidently hit the kerb and blow the tyres and i didnt have spare wheels and had to wait for tow truck and $250 later. i put the spare wheel back in

[sensei_]

for road car, not much point in reducing weight. anticipate for the worst and prepare your car to be comfortable, not light and skimp on the essentials.

[JDM DC2R]

Road use i leave it in.
Track/drag i take out top part of rear seats, spare, jack tools

[DakDak]

One time I stripped my car to get a extra couple kw.

Drove out on the road and then got a flat.

Felt like the biggest dumb ass.

[lolmclol]

Take out your spare tyre, live life on the wild side




Yolllloooooooooooo

[u mad?]

like ben says, go all out ie strip that abo and take out spare tire ect

on its owm though? id rather just leave it in

[Super-DA9]

What about non-humans?

Yeah, humans too mainstream.

[axispower]

do on average 500kms a week

[Daveho1]

i dont run one. cause car didnt have one and cause its race car.. mainly for surprise races on unsuspecting kut7s at the lights, makes the victory sweeter m8.

for real though many many many new cars dont have a spare or a space for one. just dont get a flat..easy

2 things can be learnt, dont hit curbs. or keep the spare

[Daveho1]

yes good advice, more humans should hit less curbs

[EKVTIR-T]

some manufacturers consider a spare as optional extra

[Baby Face]

spare is usually thrown in for curb prone female driver

[Super-DA9]

You could carry one of those puncture repair foam cans? Just sayin'.

[Daveho1]

some its an extra, some dont have space for them at all.

[sensei_]

spare is usually thrown in for curb prone female driver

or if you cop a nail due to some prick dropping shit on the streets.

[Baby Face]

always let someone drive infront of you to pick up the nails.

[axispower]

i might take it out for a bit and see how it goes. stay safe OP.

[Baby Face]

wont notice it on an accord i dont think.

try back seats (they are uselesss anyway) + tyre + jack tools + light wheels + remove all doors and replace with vinyl and weld some bars accross there and put monkey net.

you will notice the difference a lot more air in your face

remove door trims, remove carpet, remove seats and put bucket seats, remove dash, remove glass and replace with lexan or similar

you get the idea

[Daveho1]

remove engine and gearbox for max lightness. drive shafts can stay but

[Baby Face]

add pedals. replace front bar with flyscreen.

[Daveho1]

fak good idea, how can this not turn out sports

[RenzokukenJ]

remove engine and gearbox for max lightness. drive shafts can stay but

[axispower]

i just always notice the difference in pull (or lack thereof) when i have another human in my vehicle. so by an almost arbitray choice i considered getting rid of the spare wheel numerous times.

[lolmclol]

Fark this show was sick. I recall the Supra's body creased around the wing under the downforce it was producing at speeds over 300km/h haha.

[JDM DC2R]

i keep my space saver from the integra wreck i had.

wouldnt even way 5kg aye, its so light.

Space saver from a Dc2R is 10.9kg

[Daveho1]

jdm dc2r's interesting facts

[Baby Face]

hmm it might be, im not sure it felt light as fk.

[lolmclol]

10.9kg because he struggled to lift it and had to weight it so he didn't feel like weak kunt


Baby face new jim thread king


Wot

[JDM DC2R]

Simple weigh it.
I was comparing weights from spare to stock to my SSRs.
spare 10.9 - stock 17kg - SSR 13.8 These weights all include tires

[Daveho1]

the same tire?

[curtis265]

hmm it might be, im not sure it felt light as fk.

you just strong

[Daveho1]

any other humans take socks off for lightness?








also got haircut recon dats good for a few KW?








i wear g string on race day, boxers to heavy

[Baby Face]

i am naked unerneath my bedsheet material one piece "suit"

[curtis265]

literally means nothing unless you've pooed in the morning prior to racing

[ctx]

This is a genuinely terrible thread

I don't even

[Daveho1]

This is a genuinely terrible thread

I don't even
doode its our only chance to beat the real sports car like VT ss

[JDM DC2R]

the same tire?

no, obviously not the same tire. The spare tires the stock one. the oem had 205 50 15 on them. the SSR had 225/45/15.
Remember the space saver runs alot higher PSI. which in run also makes it heavier.

[Daveho1]

so then whats the point of mentioning rims when they tire is the majority of the weight.


well thats the case with my rpf1 anyway.

an interesting thread would be the weights of high performance tires as the difference in rotational mass may actually make a difference

just remember to re-weld your intake manifold when you are done.


if thats your concern then you bought the wrong car lad


i suggest sell it and buy evo 7-9 with few mod

or buy supra
