pgclee : racing fuel tank is good for weight reduction.
why dont you try to get fiberglass hatch , fender etc and lexan windows?
are u gonna make your car for drag only?
How light is the lighest EK hatches you guys have seen around.
hmm on this point
any1 know anything about those brake disc shields that sit behind the brake discs? apparently u can get them off and accompanied with the exhaust shields u can save a little. by removing u also cause a 20% improvement in brake disc cooling as well. but why the hell r they there in the first place? to stop brake dust from getting into suspension parts? (the idea i got out of an article in car and driver a few years ago; but the shit they did is too extreme for me...)
1) stop rocks from hitting you don't wanna damage the discs or get stuck in the pads
2) stop water from touching, this can cause warpping of the discs
If you take off the heat shields on your exhaust you can wrap them with exhaust wrap to stop the heat from going inside the cabin
EG5: i'm looking for a EK Shell or a EG shell and hopefully to do a track car, and so, i need to know info before i can start anything...that is why i'm asking for info...but still, something is missing from the list...and i have no idea wat izit...
the Lightest EK i've seen is 890kg...thats like 200kg lighter than a std ek...
890kg is light, but then you will be sacrificing some comforts for that i.e noise, heat etc etc....
if people is thinking 890kg...they won't give a damn about comfort anymore dude...haha...
they they shouldn't have bother with a honda! cos i always though that the honda way was fast and in comfort!
have u sanded off the paint? taken frunt bad and bumperbar off? no wheels? u not in the car? no seats ither no back window powere window stuff taken out and a pick of wood to hold it up ? lol i dono :S
with the car actually weight 840-50, roll cage is a must in car that light for track use.Quote:
