And the best thread ever award goes to...

Love this thread, that cage looks superb. Any idea of how much it weighs Ben?

OMP state 38kgs

 

[ben_p]

any bits which i removed i have put on the scales! including nuts and bolts LOL

after the hugh strip down, de tar etc i lost 185kgs

the willwoods are half the wieght of the stock ones, as are the leda's. i would guess there is a further 10kg between both of those

the redtop is 6kg lighter

carbon roof and bonnet will be around 15kgs lighter i think

= 216 KG

the engine will be about the same wieght, as i have lost the aircon, rad, lines and the inlet and plenham etc. But then added the charger, ITBs and intercooler etc

the seats weight 18kg for the pair

subframes and sidemounts were 13.8 for the pair

cage was 38kg

harnesses and other add-ons etc 10kg


= 79.8kg

harnesses and other add-ons etc 10kg


216kg-79.8kg is

136.2kg total loss


standard wieght for the psh1 is 1035kg

so i should be sat at around 898.8kg

 

[C.slicker]

In the above, have you factored in removing the stock seats and subframes?

 

[ben_p]

yes that formed part of the 185kg

 

[Gray]

Nice weight loss there!

What wheels are you going to be using ben?

 

[ben_p]

[d4ve86]

[ben_p]

[Gray]

[TheJesus]

Ben, weight is 1059 on the Ph1... so your not quite at the 900kg mark

 

[ben_p]

ooww thought it was 1035.

my bad. thats what parkers said

 

[Adam]

Just have a large dump before you get in the car, that should help on that.

 

[ben_p]

LOL bloody hell biff, what you bloody doing? bloody mental!

 

[Adam]

lol ohhhhhh Biff

 

[madmike1]

are you going to race this or are you just using it for track days?

 

[ben_p]

just a few tracks and tearing up warrington LOL

 

[madmike1]

lol. what races would you be able to enter it in? as the clio cup races use mk3's now?

 

[ben_p]

couldnt enter anyway as it charged and way off there spec.

jsut track days

going to the Ring and Spa in march

 

[madmike1]

the spec to which race? im looking at building a track car and wondered what the specs for races were and what races it could be entered in?

 

[d4ve86]

go to the websites of race series and look at the regulation, lma or maxx cup for example, some say u can use a race car some require a production car etc etc

 

[madmike1]

what website is that?

 

[theduck]

it depends on the series. you'll need to research the individual race series

 

[d4ve86]

use google - dunlop sport maxx cup, lma euro saloons, time attack

 

[mas]

bad boyyy clioo

 

[geesus69]

ben - have you sorted your brake bias valve yet?

looking tip top btw :clap:

 

[ben_p]

not it hasnt turned up yet

 

[geesus69]

oh i forgot to say, those fasteners you used to secure your carbon door cards, did you say they were a nightmare to find?

i was in my local engineering place where i get all my nuts/bolts/fastenings etc and spotted a bag of them on a shelf :clown:

 

[edde]

couldnt enter anyway as it charged and way off there spec.

Could be entered into some series just probable woulnd't be that quick against competion in catagories it could enter though.
