Looking forward to seeing the results from Revo, it's gonna be stupid fast! How you getting on with the weight saving?
Yeah, im not sure if there will be a chance to dyno it but either way ill know if its quicker or not.. For sure it will be..
Well only really done a couple of interior bits, I have a long list of weight saving things that need to be done, just needs a day to do it really, may attack it next week! There is another 50kg or so to come out pretty easily! That should see it down in the mid to low 1200kg range..
Jebus! I didn't know you were gonna be able to get it so low! That is gonna make a huuuggggeeee difference to power/weight ratio? You sacrificied any creature comforts apart from the rear seats obviously?
Basically the weight saving will consist of the following..
These bits I have already done
Remove Aircon
Remove rear seats / Belts / Points
Remove headlight washers
Remove fog lights
Remove one horn haha.. May as well!
Remove rear bumper bar
Remove boot contents
Lightweight interior panels - removed lots of bits, but looks standard inside
Light weight front seats
Light weight interior, under carpet sound proofing
Light weight front crash bar
Light weight front bumper - 4kg of plastic and bracing!
Light weight battery
Wheels / Suspension / Brakes etc etc etc..
All of that added up to 208kg
The bits that are left to do are things like carbon panels, poly windows, Ti exhaust, lighter wheels.. Etc etc.. Basically, the expensive bits haha!
So yeah, the realistic target is 1175kg and I think with EVERYTHING done I can get to that whilst still retaining a stock looking interior, albeit without rear seats and Recaros in the front..
