A couple of weight loss/safety questions.

[DNYALL]

I'd be keen for a Day in March, I want to get there as much as possible from now on

Ive got the Aero latches on my CF bonnet, if your car is street registered and driven on the road then I would recommend to keep the oem latch release on.

2 reasons, 1 the bonnet will have better closure, and look better than having a gap between your bonnet and front bar... and 2 if your pins should fail for some reason i would rather have the latch to save the bonnet making contact with your windscreen and doing damage... ive seen this happen on a number of cars and its not pretty.

BTW get the Aero..... they are the business!

or you could cut your pinky fingers off thats about 1kg of weight reduction :P love your car bro

[DNYALL]

All helps haha

Im assuming u have aircon removed..? How about chopping the A/C bracket in half since its not being used to hold the compressor anymore. Thats an EASY 2+ kilos... or just remove the bracket alltogether, both sides where the torque mounts sit... they do bugger all anyway, especially if u r using racing engine mounts anyway. They r heavy c*nts!

[DNYALL]

Yeah, I will look at that actually. I still have that mount on there. I'll suss out if I can remove it or not. I'm also going to remove the headliner and all the unnecessary bits out of the dash, eg. heater boxes/aircon boxes etc plenty of things I can do.

i hear lexen windows are the next best weight reduction out there

yeah I have also been looking into this. just struggling to find a place that makes them.

since you are in the progress of building a track car, might be cool to look into getting sponsors for superlap.
just food for thought.

There's a place in Carlton (Melbourne) called Acrylic Industries, I'm sure they've done that kind of product in the past. Might be worth a try.

Man, that would be awesome, but I wouldn't know the first place to start in regards to getting sponsors.
