not amuse, but mugen. 5 lbs differnce MAX. also, I have an authentic j's hood. it cost over 1000. it is MAYBE 3-4 lbs lighter than stock. the stock one is aluminum, remember, and also comes with the sound absorber pad, which wieghs 2 lbs.

 

are u making these #s up?

 

no, trying the best to recall the numbers off the top of my head.

I'm going to do a search over this thread

 

Check out www.evilplastic.com

It is Saturn related and not S2000 but still very interesting.

There is a detailed section on weight loss of his car. The concept is there, just need to tranlate to the S2000.

You didn't mention if this was going to be a track car only or not. If so, you could always start removing things without replacing them.

Anyway, check out the site. If nothing, they have nice pics

 

my track car with 6 point rollcage and hardtop weighed 2400lbs....i could have knocked another 30-40lbs out fairly easily.....

no a/c, no heater core, mugen header, apex N1 single exhasust, testpipe, 16" CE28N wheels, no carpet, no radio, no passenger seat, no airbags, no headlight balasts, stock body parts and battery..

I could have removed my airpump, cut out my doors more than i did, lighter battery and that would have been at least 40lbs lighter....

 

carpet too? Did you also remove the side window glass, and can you replace the windshield? Do you have any pics of your car?

 

[QUOTE=Saki GT,Mar 31 2006, 11:08 AM]carpet too?

 

Thanks for your input guys!

I've actually lost almost 40lbs myself, so more than that I'll be a bag of bones

anyway, im gonna go with single tip exhaust, take out the spare tyre and change into light rims.

i will leave the flywheel as it is as i might supercharge or turbocharge my car in the future.... i might need a heavy duty one. Oh final drive ratio is also on the book, but these mods are of a different nature.

 

Scott, nice one!

Now if I could just borrow that and sneak into Albert Park this weekend

 

Are those the original roll hoops without the plastic covers?
