I need to shave a lot of weight off of my car. I need to know what is available in carbon fiber for our cars. I've seen the clear plastic hoods which might shave some weight, but looks stupid. I'm looking for front and rear bumpers, hood, wing, mirrors, etc. anything that I can find.

 

It would be more pratical and way cheaper to just remove both bumper supports, back seats, spare, get a lightweight k member etc before going to CF. How much weight do you want to lose? AFAIK besides a hood there are no CF parts for our cars.

 

You will need to have them custom fabricated. It would be cheaper to just buy a lighter car

 

I've pulled the supports, cut the support out of the hood, etc. I want to get it down to 2600#'s. I've pulled wheel wells, carpet, glove box, speakers, stereo, airbags, center console, head liner, badges, door lock actuators,door panels, headlights, parking brake system.
But i'm still no where near that mark. I've got tubular uper and lower a arms and a k member on order so that should shave some.

 

oh btw...I'm on a diet too

 

There is about a 99% chance youll never get down to that weight. Why not more power?

 

good luck getting to 2600#'s
is that with or without driver
without is like a 850#weight loss that is quite a bit

 

well you can always just take off the hood hell do like the ricers get some body rust and loose parts of your car lol

 

Ha ha yeah...if you are gonna gut it... might as well take the body panels completely off ! ! Woo hoo ! !

Oh.. I don't think u really need windows do you ? Might as well gut the sound deadening seats and carpeting ! !

Sway bars ? Who needs em !!

Suspension ? Who needs it at the track ! !

Doors ? Don't need those in a straight line ! !

16 rims ? TOO BIG ! Get some lighter 14" ones ! !

Hood ? What hood ! ! Who needs ram air.. when you can just take the hood off ! !



Good luck !

 

i wish i had the link of how to get a sentra into the 14's when they take everything off the car lol i would say if you can do that to a sentra think what you could do in a maro.

 

What are your goals for your car. If you got an extra 50 HP or so that would be the equivilent to dropping 400+ pounds. Why not go that route?

 

Street Modified solo2 6.0L motor w/ 2700# car. Lexan windows is not an option neither is removing the passenger seat but anything else is fair game.

 

On top of what you have already done i am not sure what else you could do. Pull the bumper supports for sure. I think tbyrne sells a custom fuel cell that replaces the stocker, that could lighten it up a little i would think.

 

These guys have lexan replacement parts
