Sold the Meglio Cup Car... Now project 205...
- Thread starter A1axx
- Start date
Right...
How heavy will this still be... I'm starting to guesstimate... anyone else have a 197 on a diet?
Full glass and metal panels
Original weight with "100kg" driver was 1290kg
Driver -35
Stripped interior with r019 rollcage
Stripped dash and matrix - 15
Race heater + 2
No AC comp or idlers -~ 4
Racer wheels - ??
2 fibre seats + 8
Stripped engine bay with carbon box and li batt - 30kg (so much crap came out!!)
Carbon scoop +.4kg
I reckon about 1200 with the driver @65kg and fuel
Circa 1100 minimal fuel & no driver is the target I think
That's +50 on top of a cup racer which also has metal panels and glass
Am I realistic?
Who has some scale shots??

It will be a straight swap mate.. will be fitting when I am changing camshafts dude... While its apart I'm just going to put a belt on there too
Hi guys,
Here's my big update on the car. I have finished the interior, the camshafts are in and the header tank from a Dacia installed. I have also removed the A/c compressor the cheapest way possible!!
Car should be going for mapping in the next month. For now a bit of loom tidying
Any further pics needed please let me know
A/c delete is the 172 pulley/racer
4pk810sf stretch belt
Idlers and tensioner not needed
Battery is the lithium ion magnetti marelli
Heater is from T7designs
I'm by no means a professional, but it's the best I can do in my little garage!
Only pic I have from doing the cams!
Switch panel with my labels

That looks great, did you make the carbon part yourself?
Nice project, keep up the good work.
The wee panel is from Maxi Motorsport, along with most of the carbon parts, the scoop is from flaca
