ED6 weight loss on an all carb diet??

[shake]

Well the daily duties of my ED6 are now behind her? So I've decided to give the engine a freshen up, lose the emission choking carbs (for some webers or dellorto's) and trim the fat, so to speak.
This thread is purely about pulling stuff of the car and dropping it on the scales. At times it might be a while between posts so feel free to add relevant info.

The project has since changed directions re the power plant..probably should now read.."ED6 weight low on no carb diet" if ya get me.

Next step would be remove sound deading from floor
Replace rear side window glass with lexan windows
Fibreglass or carbon fiber bonnet
Light weight biger wheels with slickie tyres

but you also got think about suspension and brakes to go faster

what you using the car for street or full on track work
there many thrends ob here that will help you get more information on going quick

There's still heaps more free lightening mods like carpet, center console, air con, power steering etc to go. I'm not too interested I'm lexen or carbon.
I'll probably do some hill climbs and track days.

Weight and gearing then suspension/brakes engine as per the lets talk D series all motor thread.

Instead of lexan you can use Perspex. Not quite as light but much lighter than glass, much cheaper.

If you're hill climbing a fair bit a higher FD in your gbox would go awesome. Bang for buck acceleration right thurrr
