more info:-

The car is an unopened standard 1994 CT 20b Turbo, with a KO R1 exhaust 3" decat pipe along with BMIC plus Power FC and Data Logit controlling the boost. I have slimmed the car down now to 1030kg including full roll cage and Fire Estinguisher System and fluids.

since then his now:-

1026kg ready to race
OE unopened stock motor and lsd box
BMIC with twin spal fans
Power FC with Data Loggit
ATS TD06
R1 Exhaust
Tein HT with pillow ball mounts
ST sway bars
H&T bushing

weight saving:-

The usual, ac, heater, pipes, all interior trim, carpets, doors gutted out with polycarbonate windows, floor sound proof, brake back plates, unused wiring, dash board, unused brackets along with grp wings and frunk lid with cf boot lid.
The R1 exhaust saves a fair bit of weight as does the single race seat with alloy mounts


Made up the windows myself using the original glass as templates and made an upright edge to shape it a bit along with a small tag to hold the front top edge in
If its wet I have to put a little wipe of motor cycle defog, can't remember the name right now
I also removed the bumper reinforcements, a fair bit of weight saved

the only thing i dont like is the lack of door bars. he has left the std side intrusion bar in place on the drivers side but i wouldn't feel safe after andys 3 tree accident at the hill climb without proper door bars. id say cams would also.

me? its a guy in england.

according to what he ahs said he held it off for a while but did get passed in the end.

cut the sh!t out of the engine lid.

the rest you mentioned he doesn't have:) so there is more weight to save.

take everything off under the dash. just leave the dash pad there. there isn't a great deal in cutting the dash in half id say.

he has removed the heater box though.

I know it easy enough to cut it up , but it a matter of what the regulations will allow. I just checked the regs and it seems a little murky regarding the dash. I will contact the club to find more info.
You can run carbon guards,bonnet,boot,engine cover, interior trim,door skins(but must have side intrusion, but not clear if that is in the door or the cage itself..).Anything non structual and is bolted on can be replaced.

I plan on removing the steel body on the lid and trimming up the boot and bonnet until Im ready to spend money replacing with carbon.
The heater has gone in mine.
I will add a few more pic's to http://picasaweb.google.com/B24aust/MR2# tonight

I noticed you actually have a t-top - what do the current regs say about the glass ttops - i've got CF ones that save only 4kg because most of the weight is in the fittings. Have you thought about a light weight conversion for these fittings? I am toying with a bolt in option but kinda like the tops off at places like wakefield - it's like a super 7 cross mr2 experience

Remebering also that the ttops carry 30kg more than the hard tops so the UK car has a good head start in the weight loss game.

Yes surok, its a TT so it will help you with a cage. It has a cage in it.Its a half cage and available if your interested.

I didnt realise the TT was 30kg heavier than the hardtop. How it it that much heavier? There certainly isn't that much weight in the TT itself. It there additional structual strenghtening? Everything in mine will be completely removed with only a peice of lexan going from one side to the other. I will put some pics up on the picasa site when it has been done.
Thanks for the info roryh.

Wiring is a bit of a headache but Im getting there. Im at a stage where the cage needs to be installed then painted so I can install the minimal amount of trim required plus the completion of wiring.

Can someone help with bushes? I need a few for the front and rear.

cheers

Hey Steve its Phil if you want to sell your half cage let me know thats what i want to put in my red car i don't want to put a full cage in it.

Send me some pictures and let me know

Phil
