Well I've got it & its 1.3kgs in weight & stiff as hell with a little fibreglass natural flex It looks much better than the picture shows ...PS it was washed of because of dust in his workshop not had time to wipe it over yet The black dash is the top pic & green is the mould I now have & own ...it wasn't cheap to get made & was crazy money really ...but hay ho .... Also I got lots of extras fitted it has stop ends so you can't see behind on the ends & all sides & bottom curve under so yet again you can't see behind because Lower Glove box not copied ....also keep heater vents out & windscreen vents as if you want them you can fit them ...plus centre mid & upper glove box keep solid again if you don't want it remove it with a Dremel drill Also it fits inside of door bars and the return stop ends make it look professional ...just got to tidy up edges & trial fit again Day666 has attached the following image: |

We've all spent crazy money on things, no need to feel embarrassed Would you spend just under £1000 m8 I've got no extra power so every bit of weights going to help 169kgs lost that's NOT including my cage ....so I'm hoping quite a bit under 1000kg now ...maybe I'm wrong but I've made a list of what's come off & gone on ....and saved weight everywhere I safely can with out drilling holes or cutting door panel in nets out So |

You should be well under 1000kg, I'm at 955kg and we've got fairly similar spec. I've done some other bits like remove PAS and re-do the wiring but that isn't a huge saving, maybe 10kg combined. I've got that fibreglass boot to fit but if I do that I have to put ballast back in to stay in the same class so not much point!I didn't want to go too crazy and compromise safety. There's a high chance I'll crash and would rather the car / I survive than take another 5kg out ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |
