Jonnyc's MK5 ED30 Build Thread..
RedRobin:
....
Is a roll-cage on your list? - In other words, having stripped out the back, do you intend to track it regularly?
:xmassmiley:
MAT ED30:
so you are running stage 2 on a stock exhaust ?

....In Jonny's case obviously not for long!
Milltek told me it's not a good idea in the long term.

Nope, they are quite heavy :grin:
Removing the rear interior parts purely for performance, dont have anyone in the rear of the car so its no inconvenience to me.. Having a carpet made to cover the shell, so it looks like this.. (less the scaffolding)
Weight saving and lightening this car is going to be a big part of the concept, my target is to remove 150KG from the car, which will make a huge difference in terms of performance..
These are the parts that are going to save the weight, some of which I have already done :happy2:
WHEELS & TYRES
REAR SEATS
BOOT CONTENTS + REAR MATS
SUSPENSION
INTAKE
FRONT SEATS
BRAKES
BATTERY
EXHAUST
CARBON FRONT WINGS
CARBON BONNET
REMOVE BONNET INSULATION
SINGLE FRONT WIPER KIT
REAR WIPER DELETE
POLY CARBONATE REAR WINDOWS
POSSIBLY REMOVE THE AIRCON SYSTEM, PUMP, RAD, HOSES ETC ETC
Im going for a Club-Sport type of spec, dont want to strip the car out and have it a bare shell inside, need to keep a certain level of comfort, and I want it to look like it could have came like this from the factory, R26R style..

Having an exhaust made very soon, reason I went for the Stage 2 right away was so that I could have the exhaust made and fitted to my car without having a CEL up on the dash.. should be on straight after new year :smiley:

....I guess that deleting your rear wiper won't matter - There ain't gonna be anyone able to get near enough to overtake you!! :laugh:
