OK so no reply. This could be a good discussion.
I know how to build an FD how do we get the weight down and power up on the X?
Ready to learn, Jeff
I have been working on the same problem; every pound saved means you need less HP to do the same job. The lighter it gets the less strain on the drive train, breaks and so on.
"Light also begets light" the lighter it is the lighter it can be built.:biggrin:
The battery can be replaced with a much lighter version.
Spare tire and bracket; tool kit, jack, and compressor can be removed.
After market suspension; some coil-overs are very much lighter.
Seats are worth some weight savings when changed to race type.
Not much is gained in weight savings from the body panels.
After market clutches and flywheels save weight and handle more HP.
Wheel and tire combos when done right can save some weight.
These are just easy starters; this discussion has been had before. You can read about what others have done and what each item change can save if you use search.
On the power increase side; more displacement and more boost always seem to work.:wink:
