Ways of reducing the weight of our cars
berg:
sorry to semi hijack thread but which light battery is recommended - is it a braille? can i just order one directly from them?
Hurdy:
If you are stage 3, then you should be around 360hp? and 165kg out of a manual should put you around 1250kg.
Not too far off with some sticky tyres :happy2:
I'd be surprised if you didn't knock at least 3 seconds off with all that weight out of the car.
5 seconds would be on a perfect lap, with a few brave pills. :laugh:

The braille is just 31Ah, the Odyssey I want to buy has 45Ah wich is a little better but also 12.5Kg as compared to 9.5Kg for the Braille. However, due to my audio system, I have to use a deepcycle battery that can be fully recharged from 0. Hurdy, my car had 1664Kg with me and 55% gas (the audio system only is about 150 to 180Kg). So with the 165Kg out of the car I will be in the region of 1500Kg (with me inside) ! In the list above, I haven't deducted the speakers + the front doors (+10-15Kg per door as compared to OEM due to massive fiberglass speaker panels) + the amplifiers + rack (about 50Kg ). I only put out the subwoofer from the system !

^^^^ :surprised:^^^^^^
That is one hefty car Fuscobal.
Or should I say was :smiley:
It doesn't take much sound equipment in a car to ramp up the weight.
