a lot more weight reduction has taken place
i guess you would call this stage 2 with the reductions getting a bit more serious now.

stereo system removed (headunit, speakers and...

Was driving the other day and started to notice this noise whenever i turned right and loaded the left side suspension. Its coming from the rear left so behind the passenger.

Took the coil out...

245/40 will fit the rear easier with slightly less camber (I was at about -1.8 with my old 245s)

I run 17x9 +40 all round with 255 rs3
Front is the hassle. Rear will fit fine with a roll, tab relocation and -2 to -2.5 camber :)

Just to be clear, I'm not going for the lightest race car here. What I'd like is once I've added stuff like a roll bar, aero, oil cooler etc is to be at the same weight as stock.
Should be fairly...

True!
The s2k being NA isn't going to benefit from the acceleration as much but the braking difference helps massively.

Haha I'm 6ft 4 and 82kgs. I'm lanky as ****.

I race the car so any weight loss is good. I could lose a lot more from the car but Im not going crazy/want a full interior still etc

thanks man
i just did it cause there's a few threads on it on s2ki on this topic and so many discrepancies and estimations of weights etc
i dont personally know how much difference it makes but im...

Recently stripped out AP1 soft top assembly with a few interior trim pieces and insulation etc
30.6kg
Forbidden frp hardtop with rsg race brackets is 13.8kg

So 16.8kg saved

Also replaced...

Looks clean but price is a bit steep for 105k Kms imo. I got my super clean/stock with full logbooks and 65k Kms 01 silverstone for the same price over a year ago.

updated the OP.
another 8.6kg taken form the car. total weight reduction is now up to 97.1kg :D

Ive been collecting weights for a while now and stockpiled them into the following table to help others with their weight reduction endeavours.
Don't believe the weights you read on the internet...

if you'd like to add the AUS S2000 page on facebook abz2k can be easily found there. He has done many swaps for members of the page.
Hes located in the Blacktown area

That's the right part. Make sure it also includes the air con cover.
I sold mine a while back so try and buy it second hand off somebody

Glad you were able to find it.
I just wrote in s2000 stock air guide and it came straight up haha

It's an air guide for the radiator. Works the same as an aftermarket cooling plate.
Search s2000 stock air guide and stuff will come up. As for a part number I have no idea

haha not just my word. i wouldnt go purely off that. I just know of numerous people who are using them in aus. Same as people overseas using whiteline sway bars and theyre made in aus...
i cant see...

definitely sounds like a coil pack/spark plug issue

Plenty of people that I know that have ordered the eibach sway bars through eBay and other sellers from the U.S. And they fit fine with no issues.

Eibach are made in the U.S. (LHD) and all I can...

All the same man.
What sway bars are you looking at getting?

You need to remove those hardlines and replace with the rubber/silicone lines provided with the intake.
(I have a js racing intake) it shows you in the instructions what to do :)

okay sweet! glad you worked it out.
part of the reason why mugen hardtops are so expensive is the inclusion of all the oem hardware

Mugen hardtop uses oem hardware so it should be the same stuff. If the seller is selling them as different things then I'd enquire about what is different

Sounds about right man. I get around 350-400km a tank normal city driving etc

yep bilstein shocks that are then shipped to amuse where theyre custom valved and all that and swift springs are added :)
