R32 345x30mm weight > 40Kg
Ap Racing 362x32mm weight > 28Kg

Weight loss until now :

- subwoofer + enclosure > 34.5Kg
- spare wheel + tools > 17.5Kg
- MDF board over the amplifiers > 8.2Kg
- Rear seats > 27.5Kg
- Front reinforcement bar > 1.8Kg
- S3 spindles > 3Kg
- Braking system > 12Kg

TOTAL  : 104.5Kg

TD 8x18'' rims have 9.2Kg/pc but knowing I'll be using a 235/40/18 tire, they will be weighing about the same as my 17'' OEM denvers + 225/45/17 tires

Next : 235/40/18 (probably Toyo R888 because Kumho makes only 225 & 245), Recaro Polepositions, lighter battery and possibly some mods to the amplifier's area on the trunk !

 :happy2:

Did you optimize the weight distribution yet?
Guess you had to raise front left and right rear a bit.

No weight optimization until I finish installing all parts. It will be done sometime before the first track day next year. In the meantime, I opted for Toyo R888 on 235/40/18 wich are more like 245 (measured by me). They are indeed 20mm wider than my Kumho V70 and I will need wider fenders on front. The wheels weigh in only 20.5Kg wich is 0.5Kg less than the 17'' with 20mm narrower tires. The bad news is the baseframes for my Recaros came and they are frickin heavy. The seat + sidemounts has 10Kg and the baseframe 7Kg. All in all, the seat has 17Kg (instead of 12Kg as everybody said)

Weight loss until now :

- subwoofer + enclosure > 34.5Kg
- spare wheel + tools > 17.5Kg
- MDF board over the amplifiers > 8.2Kg
- Rear seats > 27.5Kg
- Front reinforcement bar > 1.8Kg
- S3 spindles > 3Kg
- Braking system > 12Kg
- Recaro Poleposition > 18Kg
- 18'' TD + 235/40/18 R888 > 2Kg
- rear bench > 5Kg

TOTAL  : 129.5Kg

In order for me to compensate this, I decided to replace the rear amplifiers + rack with lighter amps wich also won't need a rack since they will fit inside the spare wheel area. The rack + amplifer had 40Kg and the new amps will be less than 15Kg (these amps are also high end so there will be no loss in sound quality)

Pics with the seats will come soon as only one of them is installed on the car now !

What did AP answer when you asked for winter dirt with the non sealed calipers?

Nothing cause I forgot to ask them. Anyway, with the new brakes, my 17'' OEM rims + winter tires don't fit anymore so I won't be using the car anymore during winter. I'll keep the car in the garage and drive the mighty Fiesta (1.2, 60HP :) )

My advice would be to sell them on very cheaply to me  :grin:

The car is looking fantastic mate  :happy2: :happy2:

Don't know him by the name but perhaps if I see him I recognise him. Didn't attend EMMA Eurofinals since 2008 so I'm a little bit outdated now. Keano, the winter wheels were sold before going out of the car :) !

Thanks for the tip. Here we go then :



























Hope I don't get in trouble for this, but I can't justify censoring what I am about to say, because you deserve nothing less than a HOLY sh*t. (never mind, it censored it automatically, I tried)

-Neil k

Absolutely spectacular.
