when going to say heathcote / calder park, do you need to remove everything loose from the car? (i.e., subs / amp etc?)

thanks.

well i guess u dun have to ... but if u do .. obviously it would make the car lighter... and that would help in a better time...

Alone as for a safety aspect it is good to remove anything that is loose which could possibly hurt somone in an accident, both on the track and street.

But yeh, before you go to the drags just have a good clean up of all loose items that you don't need. If you can remove you subs etc that would be great, but things like loose change and all the other crap that may be lying on the floor on in the boot all adds up as un-nesasary weight. If you want to be more extreem you can remove seats and spare wheels, its up to you how far you want to go.

Have fun anyway. :thumbsup:

thanks guys... i removed most stuff but dont really wanna drive to heathcote tomorrow without any music!

not going to go as far as removing the seats - im not there to run the best time possible, just want to see what i can do in full street trim so i have a base for future mods.

cheers

Are you sure that's correct mph?

if so well done mate, get some stock wheels, strip the car and you'll run 14.5-14.7 easy
