Lightening Build

midwestmk2 · 03-25-2010, 02:27 PM

Unless you start buying fiberglass or carbon parts lightening a Piggy is a futile effort.. Im also with 907mge. Speakers make no sense without the upolstry and sound deadening material and those magnets are some serious weight.. Big rims also mean more unsprung weight aswell so beware of that too.. Im in the process of building my MKII agian and there will be no electronics in the car except the lights,not even the ECU.. My goal will be 300hp+ and 2500lbs when finished..

i believe i did state that i will be re upholstering the car right? and how big of speakers do you think im getting? also the next rims i want to get are the MKIV's and if im mistaken they arent that much heaver. yes they are 17's instead of 16's i believe. more rotating mass. but im not getting "DUBS". haha dont worry im not going to strip off weight just to add heavier weight. although im sure once i swap the engine these modifications will mostly show up in handling and less in power. doubt ill miss the N/A

more or less i do hope this is useful for others to see the effects and to see if its even worth it for their own vehicle. who knows the outcome but at least they will see the results and work it took and decide for themselves.
