having given up on my engine swap i decided the next best mod would be to change my dieing slipping clutch thats been dieing slowly for the last six months, so I swapped it out for a sports stuff heavy duty clutch , massive downside i wanted to do it myself in turn this resulted in having to take the engine out it was the best a quickest way, so after upgrading the clutch i wanted more power, as you do , so i decided on a weight reduction, so i stripped all my sounds system and boot plastics, spare tyre, jack, tools etc,
which resulted in weight reduction of a awesome 79kgs ( 30kgs is something every ba owner can lose, and the rest was loose junk and sound system etc. My weight reductions got my 0-100 time from a 8.6 with a friend timing on my say so, to a 8.1 after my reduction with sly in the car who is a bit bigger then the mate that was with me in the first run. (all 0-100 test were carried out on a friends farm, on a concrete strip)
