Hi everyone, I am a new owner of a Track (sig) and having come from an 1100kg car am keen to drop some weight off this one... problem is... I got no mulla! :doh:
I am interested in what people have done to the car to drop as much weight as possible without replacing parts... ie carbon fibre bits (which are very nice and VERY expensive!). As you can see in the sig I already have an exhaust that saves about 20kgs and from memory the Rays save another 12kgs. So I am down 32kg (dry weight). If I can drop about 20kgs off my personal rear-end that would help immensly, and I am working very hard on that too!
I saw something about dry-icing the sound proofing? Can someone please expand on that? I am going to take out the spare and make a space in the boot, much like this thread describes.
How much does the subwoofer weight? I am not a big car sound person... I care more about the engine note.
I am also thinking of stripping out the middle console plastic and perhaps drumming up a custom made fiberglass cover (got a friend who can do something for low to no cost).
In fact I am wondering if that whole section between the boot and the seats can be taken out and speakers moved to the floor or to the sides? Anyone tried that?
Thanks in advance! :wavey:
