Hi Jonny, what did you have to do to get it down to 1175kg? I think with the DSG and roll cage I'll struggle to get anywhere near that.

I wanted a spare set of wheels for the track and looked at OZ Alleggerita HLT's but discovered they wont clear the VWR 6 pot's  :confused: Big thanks to RR for checking the size of his for me, VWR have a scale drawing of the brake set up which was sent to OZ technical Dept in Italy, and none of their wheels will clear the 6 pot's.

These were on the shelf @ Awesome Gti and have plenty of clearance,

Neuspeed RSe07  18x8  in Graphite, nice and light 8.7kg, the VW badge fits  :happy2:

The difference:

BBS CH & Toyo R1R's = 22.5kg

Neuspeed RSe07 & Toyo R888's = 19.7kg

saving over 2.5 a corner  :happy2:





Also lucky to get a set of Toyo R888's (demon tweeks)



I wanted to keep them in the boot and swap them at the track but it was a bit tight.

Had to take out the tail gate linning.



But the angle of the rear light wire plug was hitting the tyre, had to grind of the locating tabs and spin it 90 degrees.

 





And tidy up cables, carbon panel to come.



Neil  :happy2:

Hoping to get a few free days next month, probably do a safe one at Bedford, VWR want to be at the first one for a shake down and set it up for me  :happy2:

The Neuspeed's were £1150.00 Danish, a bit cheeper than OZ & BBS but top quality.

Hi Jonny, what did you have to do to get it down to 1175kg? I think with the DSG and roll cage I'll struggle to get anywhere near that.

Mine was DSG too..

Well first of all it was weighed without fuel.. So say 30kg there if you were over half full when it went on the scales..

Recaro Pole positions, 10kg each including frames etc.. I think your seats are around 25kg each so theres another 30kg saved

No cage, that must be 50kg

Wheels I had Pro race 1.3's which are way lighter than CH's.. Around 10kg total loss there..

Turbo kit was 5kg lighter than OEM

Bonnet was 4.5kg, not sure how much yours comes in at..

Stripped totally A/C and interior like you so no difference there..

Brakes were project Mu which were 11kg a side.. Not sure if you got a weight for yours but I expect closer to 15kg as far as I remember.

Removed rear bumper bar 8kg

No headlight washers and light weight bumpers (cut out all the supporting plastics) 10kg

Thats about 150kg already and there was some other stuff too..

Still a LOAD of weight to come out..

1050kg would be possible :)

Jonny you were on a weight saving mission, well done.

I would have loved the Pole position seats but just couldn't manage without the tilt & slide.

I keep looking at the front doors, their must be a fair bit in those and a crash bar I think, Also changing the rear side glass & rear screen for plastic???

I have seen a replacement carbon roof panel...................  :rolleye:

Neil,

With all of my calculations, using realistic figures I expected that if you went mental on a MK5 ED30 you would be able to get below 1000kg

Just depends how far you want to go really
