Weight Loss- 150Kg Possible?

SpawnAeroJohn · 12-16-2009, 11:16 AM

Carbon fiber battery (not cheap though)
Polycarbonate windows (I Think that’s the material and that’s how its spelled)
Lighter seats
Lighter rims
Loose your a/c and unneeded luxuries like speakers, center console, etc...
If you are using it for racing might as well lose the power steering if you don’t mind a little arm but I don’t know if many people do that I don't know too much about that.
Aftermarket fans and radiator if they exist
Engine internals
Carbon fiber composite brake pads and rotors if they exist and if you want to spend that much.

DO NOT MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR POWER STEERING IF YOU ARE BUILDING A RACE CAR!!!

There are dozens of reasons why that is a bad idea...

There are many things to consider when removing weight but the priority should be, why do you want to remove weight? Are you planning on converting your Z into a race-car? Or, will it be street only and you just plan on removing some weight so that you have a lighter car?
