how much does our ralliarts weigh?
has anyone seriously thought about stripping their ralliarts? if so what did you guys do? and does it make that big of a diff if say u were able to take off 300lbs?

 

The Curb weight is in your door pillar. And yes weight is a big factor. If you could remove 300 lbs from your car it wil make a difference, it's common sence

 

You could always take out your jack and spare tire but if you get a flat, you're screwed.

 

the curb weight is NOT at the door pillar, that wheight is the max the car weights with 4 pasangers and a full tank of gas.

 

S&S package adds quite a few pounds. But I enjoy them thoroughly.

 

every 100lbs removed is good for about .10 seconds in the quarter mile...

 

i think 300 lbs would be a bit hard and rather extensive....aim for 100 and anything over .....good job

 

kinda off topic, but i was talking to a guy at the races last friday, has an audi s4 2.7l bi-turbo

took out his passenger seat because it weighs 75lbs. back seats weigh 25lbs and he gutted the truck, another 50 lbs.

im sure that ours arent that heavy but thats what you are gonna have to do to save weight, anything other than that look at spending some money on carbon fiber stuff...

 

thanx for everyone's imput. i'm gonna strip EVERYTHING and see how much weight i can take off. give me a couple o fweeks though to forum back cause i broke my hand playing basketball.

 

wait wait wait.... is your car a daily driver or a race car?


if it is a daily with the rear seat, the passenger seat, the spare, jack, tools and carpet youll sheed about 120, 145 pounds...

BUT
if you want the car as a race car

eliminate the a/c (totally) and all of the above youll shed 320pounds give or take........

btw
why on earth would you want to do that? lol

 

if you were gonna gut the car you should have bought an old beater and put a little money in it and then stripped that. Much cheaper.

 

When I removed my backseat, subs, spare, trunk trim, rear seatbelts, that was only about 150 lbs, but it made a big difference. You'd have a very hard time stripping 300# without spending a lot of money.

 

Thats the word I hear from some people @ tracks

 

how about those rollers on the front crash bar, i heard those way about 20 each.

 

Picked up a nail in one of my tyres the other day and put on the spare, which I don't know if is the case for everywhere else, is one of the same 16" Enkei's, and they are really light... maybe i am used to changing 4x4 tyres but you could throw these around, not sure if there is much point losing the spare for weight reduction to be honest... a big driver would negate it
