windows - not sure on that one - you could always cable tie the gears/arms in place

Hahhahahah - I'm not a fan of removing everything. I'll be run with my stereo install, jack, tools and spare wheel.
My aircon and air suspension is gone now but the engine weighs a little more than the old. |

What power you making now.
175hp at wheels would make for a quick car. We would be good competition |

123.7whp - still have plenty of room to grow however.
150whp should be pretty easy to get too from here. just getting a piggyback ecu would get me pretty damn close (as my mods really really need an ecu to take advantage of them). from 150 up is where it'll get difficult, but i'll get there one day i hope. |

Twilight how much of the weight that remains can be shifted forwards in the car? Probably not much, but it might help if you sit really close to the steering wheel! :wink:

Some fair ideas there! I went the opposite and made sure everything from the factory floor was in the car + all the fluids at full.
I also had in the car: *Melways *120cd's in folder *40kg sub & amp *skateboard *fold out chair *Ralph mags (2) *torch *camera *first aid kit *6 pack of beer I did this so it would be a realistic time of what the car would get everyday of the week, which was 16.2, so i was happy with that. Best of luck with the drags! Hope u get the sp20's into the low 15 bracket |

Move the radiator surge tank out of the way so you can move the battery forward, it's one of your biggest single relocatable mass objects.

ok, side skirts, rear wing and rear window wiper and motor removed.
up to 75.5kg removed that's the equiv of an additional 10whp or more depending on which internet formula you use... |
