:biggrin: Every time we go street racing I tell her to "make a dump" - that's 0,5kg for sure. :biggrin:

You never know when 0,5 kg will be decisive, I´m also happy that my girlfriend is lightweight .

youll be suprised how heavey the glass is, when we do windows and that at work they are alot heavier than you think

 

[mradam87]

I'm sure I read somewhere the weight of a rear screen can be around the 25kg mark, not sure what the clio one is but I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 rears came to near 50kg?

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Fair play!

[gaz197]

wonder how much you would save if you took the engine out???

 

[spinky]

Not a great deal. its < 175kg's

I was thinking about cutting the drivers and passengers floor out of the cat b 197 in my garden, putting some scaff poles along where the axles should be..
to get a real feel for the flintstones effect if ya know what i mean!

anyone who removed their catalytic converter can approximate its weight?

if it weighs 5kg or more it's worth removing

not sure if you want to remove weight from the back of the car. Could really hurt its balancing.
