interesting you are trying to corner weight , when you have other useless mods on the car that have no real effect on the handling. For the street thats great but IMO get rid of the wing , c pillar brace and big rims.

c pillar trying as much as possiable to stiffin the car up like i said everyone has there own ideas.
big rims i guess you didnt read money does not just flow around my place so anything i can get cheap i do. i get slick 1 meet old for 50 to 100 dollas. thats why the big wheel.
why not pick on that useless door hinge. cause it looks cool
im sorry if i hurt your feelings champ - just pointing out some clashing things. Also , used semis or slicks i would strongly avoid - good chance they are stale !
Will do! (we did hello,once in passing @ QR :) )Quote:

I reckon the wing and c-pillar brace is working to a positive means on the track and reading how you are doing this on the budget/cheap like myself makes me admire you more!
I will be attacking the extra sound deadening I learnt about tomorrow!
Here's some pics of stripping the sound deadening out:
Wiggidy wiggidy whack YO!

absolutly nothing wrong with running with used semis, I would definatly run these over a typical street tyre if i could, especially if it were for practice. if however you were to try and put a P.B down then sure go and get a fresh set, but for the price and budget id say go for it... experiment with you tyre pressures and temps etc thats how you learn with out making the sport crippling...Quote:

A lighter car is a quicker car :)
i finally managed to take out my sunroof glass last night, the stupid allan key bolt heads stripped so i had to drill them out. took me ages to get round to this nasty one!!
the glass in the roof alone weighed 7.4kgs :eek:
being right at the highest point of the car, this would upset the center of gravity quite alot. Ill be trying to make a sunroof out of lexun that i can quickly bolt on for track days... hopefully
