Seats & sound deadening - 25kg, no spare wheel, 10kg, lightweight exhaust 10kg, lightweight manifold 5kg, Superlightweight flywheel 2kg, forged wheels - 10kg, no air con 10kg.

No carbon in sight either

And as for the power? Do what eSeM suggests and stick it on TDi's dyno

I'll certainly be interested in looking at your results

Although I think we all know what we need to do now for a decent hike in power.

I've just got to sell this kidney and make sure I'm going to keep my licence first

Yeah, i've just had my fine in for crossing the white lines -

They did a special type R-R civic with ~260bhp atf didn't they? I remember it being stupidly expensive.

I imagine that's roughly the tuning limit n/a for our engine. The civic R-R power increase was acheived by reducing internal friction and ECU tweaks:

[QUOTE]Thanks to careful tuning, this car kicks out a tyre-burning 260bhp. It's the same basic i-VTEC 2.0-litre unit, but Honda has reduced friction on the internals and redesigned the camshafts. However, the greatest power gains have come from electronic improvements made using the ECU to operate the VTEC system.

Ron I think with those mods you'll make around 250-260 at the fly to get much more than that you need cams and a stroker kit.

F/I is cheating

Exhaust and Manifold came to nearer 20Kg if IRC.

Also Brake discs came in close to another 5kg in total, so I kept the A/C

Not sure much in the way of sound deadening on the car, but things like ALuminium boot as well as the bonnet, etc, etc.

A friend of mine who was into mountain biking used to drill holes in everything for the purpose of weigh saving.

Drills ready.... fingers steady!!!

Yes but fun and one massive hit from 1 days work
