Norman Verona Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 I reduced the weight of mine from 560 kgs to 507. At the same time the power went from 150 bhp to 220 bhp. Only problem is that I didn't go below 105 kgs. ERROR: that's supposed to be 650 kgs to 507 kgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Not aimed at you at all, I've not known you go on about saving weight on your car.I know if I went on a diet or trained more I could shed a stone or so... But I can't see how I could shed a stone from my car. I like the warmth from the heater, need windscreen/weather kit (most of which is removable), boot box is only storage and not a chance I could do 200 miles twice a week without a padded sear... So if it came to stripping lb's it would be me that would trim down, not the car! Same here buddy my fighting weight is 65kg-10 stone in old money, so why the feck do I need to save weight on my car? Mines a comfy cruiser with all mod cons......well maybe not the mods con, but you know what I mean Btw what mob you in? ex 1RRF meself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 65kg...... i wish i could be that size - perhaps my car would be quicker then....... Anyway back to dash boards...... how much weight does having a carbon dash actually save you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That all depends on what you are replacing, if it's MDF or plywood, quite a lot, but if your only replacing ALi with vinyl on it, not much, it would be purely cosmetic imo.

Norman Verona Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 On our marriage day I was 9 stone 8 lbs and HM was 8 stone 9 lbs. So, after 44 years she's doubled her investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
