If I could get 180/ 182 bhp at the wheels that would just about work for rhe lowest power class.
182 at the wheels.. good luck getting that without forced induction or serious engine work

Drop the weight, depending on how extreme you can drop from 20ishkg to 100kg if you were really extreme. Wheels, take rear interior out and lightweight battery are all options.
Does anyone know if the 197s have the large weight they used to in the 172/182?
In the engine bay.....the ant vibration type weight ? Yes......i believe they do.
Plus a whole load of tar-type sound deadening in roof and on the floor which i gather is quite weighty.

Standard bag of sugar is 1kg or 2.2lbs.
I can get get the weight of the car down if I wanted, I got the Impreza to 1068kg but I want to keep the Clio as a Road car for now. Does anyone have a WHP figure from a dyno run on a fairly standard set up. I would have thought somewhere between 10 and 20% loss on a front wheel drive car would be normal.
So i've read before.......thats worthwhile. Messy job ? (Some freeze the stuff - so it breaks into pieces and comes out 'easier')
Guys this thread is about power and weight etc I personally have don even the lightening thing many times so maybe it would be a better idea to have seperate thread based on weightbsaving that would be useful to others.
