5g diet

Post by **RattyMcClelland** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 4:28 pm

I use a deep cycle car audio battery which is about 15kg so save 3 kg and is in the boot. But im running close to 1000w RMS so i need the power.
Iv also added aftermartket sound deadening so iv put back 20kg of weight into the car. The amp rack adds about 12kg where the spare wheel goes.

Then the sub is a massive 17kg.

I refuse to remove anything else.
But stock 17" Accord wheels are 9.9kg. DC2 12" are 8.5kg IIRC. Rota slips are 6.2kg each.

thats what i mean

i cant wait to thrash the white one. its going to be over 80kg lighter than the red one with all the audio i put into it. i got a kg of wires i didnt need out of the white one. 1kg of useless wire

this was mostly all the cables for the OE television system that it had. crazy.

I dunno, I'd recommend the spare wheel especially as a DD. I was thinking of removing mine until I hit a stone and ripped my tyre! Was a brand new Goodyear Eagle F1

Tyre-weld will only do so much

the system AUDI supply is bum droppings! its like tyre weld but its a runny glue that you squeeze into the tyre and then pump it up.

needles to say it didnt work and we had to get a bloody lorry out

@nitin: so i have lost half your entire body weight in fat? thats scary. mainly because i know that there is at least a leg and an arm to go

I dont see the point in stripping the car of weight. Its not a track car. If i was only using it for freaking insane drive and track i would strip it but its a second daily drive. I want AC, i want Audio and a quiet ride. It will still pull hard and go round corners like nothing else.
