You can:
-Remove the rear chrash bar (or drill it out, as I have done) -Switch to a 987 Engine cover, saves 1.7 kg -Remove one of the two horns, Saves basically noting ;-) But still.. -Remove passenger side wiper -Get lighter wheels? -Make the "Gt3"-center console delete -Go for a Lithium battery -Carbon hood / trunk -Carbon fenders -Remove the fog light bulbs.. Ok, now I´m struggling.. ;-) |
My 99 base is at 2415, goal is 2200 lbs. or less?, street legal. Then I'm taking a Sawzall to the body, chopping off almost everything overhanging past the front and rear tires.
WizardSmokey, nice, did you remove the roll bar? Edit; answer is custom welded in roll bar. I remember your thread now. Need to re-read it. |
For the points Robert986 mentioned:
1: I had no engine cover at all, unless I was at an SCCA event, but the one I did have was about halfway cut away to make room for the intake. 2. Horns long gone. 3: Windshield wipers, linkages, motors, hell, the whole damn assembly was gone. 4: My wheels are already pretty light, gonna be harder to go much lighter without spending BIG money. 5. I have the GT-everything delete. 6. Lithium battery would save a solid 30 lbs or so. 7. Carbon body panels are hideously expensive. 8. Bulbs? Hmmm...... 2,200 lbs is going to be very, very difficult without already chopping a lot off. Mine was at the absolute minimum needed just to drive around (much less street legal) and was still 2,460 (but still perfectly balanced!). You could shave a few pounds more with a lightweight battery and lighter wheels, but that would still have you at about 2,400 or so. I even had a power steering delete and a/c was completely removed except for the lines under the car, and those are aluminium and weigh nearly nothing. |
