we al know the usual weight reduction blah blah blahs.
carbon fibre, hood/bonnet, plexi windows, steel down pipes, air con removal, etc.......
how about these ideas though.
1 - brushless starter motor, brushless are smaller and more powerful than a normal starter motor.
2 - water injection instead of an intercooler.
3 - carbon/glass fibre, wings, doors, etc.....
4 - aluminium foot wells, cut out the old metal and replace with alloy panels.
5 - brushless motors on the electric windows.
6 - lithium/capacitors for a car battery, laptop batteries in series, much lighter.
7 - swap all nuts and bolts for titanium ones.
8 - carbon fibre wheels -
9 - fill your car with helium balloons, lol, joking.
10 - fibre glass gearbox housing, take a mould from your gearbox and replace all internals from standard box.
11 - don't eat cake.
ok some of these ideas are expensive, but collectively done with standard weight reductions mods could knock of potentially over a 100kg, maybe 200kgs. how much is 20kgs equivalent in BHP of 0 - 60???
