Hi,
yes,it is heavy,i dont know where this weight is coming,maybe the 1mm sheetmetal I added during the build everywhere,where originally much thinner sheets were used.
Unfortunately the rules doesn't allow weight reduction,i have to make some kind of bumpers,because the original big 1500 bumbers are not mounted (are 25kg front and back). I plan to make some kind of copy of the 1300 unit,as they are either hard to find or expensive,and need modification of holder bar anyway imho.
I weight only 62kg,so I wouldn't like to reduce myself more
On the car,i cant think of anything which could be demounted or swapped for smaller one.Maybe I could buy a smaller battery to reduce by 5kg,but i think the front is too light anyway.
Rules accept 1 panel to be swapped to fiberglass,so front or rear fenders,doors are not an option. Frunk hood could be swapped,but again,too much weight in the back,less on the front.
I have aluminium fuel tank and water radiator,much lighter than original part.
Trunk hood is not that heavy to worth the work.
We had here another X with 1.6 TC turbo engine,weighted only 720kg,it was 800 incl. the driver,he did 10.8s runs with slicks,he raced in pro class.Fiberglass front fenders,frunk hood,engine and trunk hood. All windows from plexyglass except the windshield.He added a roll cage,thats all.One race seat,no interior at all,just a tacho.
