I've been going through the ela thread on here. I've not finished it yet but I'm getting there. My cars an ongoing project and restoration of sorts. A lot of mods done but a lot more to do.
What I want to know is, has anyone here done the basic weight saving things and actually noticed the difference?
At the minute my mods are full ss headers, 200 cell cats and silencers, air box mod, iridium plugs and sure fire coil packs. Home modified engine mounts. I'm removing the full air con system as it's past it and I never use it to fix it.
Spax lowering springs on m030 shocks, black Series powerfex arb bushes front and rear, Rear arb modified and adjustable. new spyder performance coffin arms with modded bushes. New Sachs top mounts on front shocks with
Modded bushes.
Probably loads more done but can't think now.
What I'm thinking of doing to save weight is removing-
Spare wheel and tool kit
Radio and all speakers(can't hear it anyways)
One of the radiator fans like a gt3 rs (I will be fitting the ltt)
Seats at some stage when the budget allows
Wiper delete already done
Light weight flywheel
I'm open to suggestions but I still need it child friendly. I'm ok with removing some sound deadening but I won't be changing carpet.
Also worth noting, I have a sunroof and always use this so it's definitely a keeper. My car is a 1998 aero c2 manual.
All ideas welcome but the budget is the big thing here
Thanks
