will be stalking your build thread from now on
T180985 wrote:i heard the ABS was only worth 4kg, can you post up how much it weighs once its out please?cant see that mate, the ABS pump itself maybe, but then you have all the brake lines and ABS sensors etc, will soon add up to a fair old chunk i recon
next for me is to remove the front widows glass to replace with plastic windows so i can then remove all the electric window stuff :bigthumb: and removing the rear crash bar
pulpmelon_r wrote:Not sure if this has been covered but:good point, if you have any you can weigh feel free to get the numbers over to me and i will add them to the list :salut:
I bet a stainless race header with decat knocks a few kg's off over the cast jobby
Also my coilovers were much lighter than the springs and shocks.
