great that's what i looked for. Now just tell me which battery is 7kg lighter, suspension i guess KW V3? , seats understand, rear seat understand, BBK ok, fluids?? how can i get off 20kg on fluids?

this is the one i have, used for a year now no problems

Most of the weight reduction is from the dashboard back wards.

The tail is too light any way ! ! :bigcry::bigcry:

good point, shave off 30kg just from the back of the car is not the smartest idea ...

maybe carbon engine block? :hahaha:

Shimmy thank You very useful link

i think youll find the car is still light heavy enough to get grip - its hardly a lightweight!:smokin:

as a real lightweight i race with Radical SR4, so I sure this will always be much heavier, just looking what all I can do without loosing the CSL soul :-)

looks like the mods will be

- SS back box and maybe pipes
- big brakes but no love for the 2 piece AP, more Movits or Brembo monoblocks
- battery change
- and maybe seats and 4 point seat belts and some removable harness bar

So how much weight would a carbon boot or bonnet save?

Not a lot, as the boot skin is carbon and the bonnet Alloy.

Remove air con & Xenon is easier.

No washer fluid and run with less fuel

But how would you pull the old "I had to wash my windscreen" trick John?:clown:

Why? Most find AP's more than enough on a CSL. They won't fade for sure.

just feeling that monoblock is better than 2 piece

It is, and if you were building a racecar fine. But you honestly won't need more than AP's with the right pad/disk combination for a TD car and especially at Ring.

Actually the factory boot lid is all FRP and it's freaking heavy - I have one in the closet and I can tell you that it was surprisingly heavy when I picked it up. You'd easily shave at least half the weight off one by going full single skin carbon fibre with no internal support structure. Just don't mount any spoilers on it instead mount it to the rear chassis rails

[Rutkowski]

Wheels, lighter seats and BBK - that'd be all for me. I think too much weight taken off would upset the car's balance....

[azrael]

Also you would want to try and keep the near 50:50 weight distribution.

How weight you reckon needs to go to match the GT3 or GT3RS power to weight ratio? Only 10kg between the cars it seems. Obviously harnesses help and Aero

[Kislik]

SO I have SS back box and battery and now suspension and recaros go in, cage goes in and rear seats go out. I'm curious the difference maybe I should let garage weight it before and after so we see some real data.

btw I also lost 10kg on driver weight reduction which I got for free :hahaha:
