If you want a fast car, you want a good power-to-weight ratio. You want lots of power and minimal weight. So the first place to start is by cleaning out your trunk!
i agree.Quote:

So if I didn't strip my car, for me to get the same power to weight ratio I would need to get about 135kw, another 17kw over original. Thats headers, high flow cat, cat back exhaust, muffler, air filter + more.
For good parts thats over $3000 + installation
It cost me a day and $0 to strip my car.
stripped hatches own imo.
im jealous trev lol
every 45kg you took out from the car it will gain 0.1 or 0.2 down the 1/4 mile.
0.1 to 0.2... thats still rpetty good
what about 0-100km wise?
couldnt have said it better!!Quote:

Yes it is road registered. But I haven't gone to get it engineered yet though (still not finished). But I will get it engineered as a 2 seater, and with the new engine.
I think you can be defected for not having plastics. but it depends on the cop. I have the rear of my old EK4 stripped and a cop never said anything when they saw it.
I need to find a engineer to see what I do need in the car, but I wouldn't think that you would need plastics, console or roof lining.
