Brakes will stay as the are for now, the calipers and discs etc are all brand new so may as well use them!As said this is just a stepping stone to get used to racing then hope to move up to the touring car which has all the good bits on anyway! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

I was hoping for just under 1000kgs but bettered that by miles! Turns out its 30kg lighter than my 205 was! though that still had the Power steering etc still on it! so total wieght is............. 870kgs!!!!! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

Ive read the whole thread mate, its just the 50kg that Rallyes are lighter than 6s as standard isnt that much but this thing is as light/lighter than a 205! And just curious what a sensible strip down to get it around a ton was, without making it a completley dedicated track car. ________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |

You need to remove a lot of stuff to get down to that weight!But to give you some ideas, rear wiper motor is just over 1kg seatbelts are about the same each cooling fans are 1.5kgs o/s alternator/pas/engine mount is 8.5 kgs sound deadening behind the dash is 7.5 kgs there is about 3-4kgs of sound deadening stuck to the floor! carpets are a good 7-8kgs at least But then you get carried away, every bracket that not used has been cut off no matter how small it looks, extra buls have all gone, the wiring harness weighs a ton! you just have to decide what you want the car for and what you really need in it! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

And some weights for you, all done on a proper MOT test brake roller which weigh the car to work out the braking efficiency so is fully calibrated every few months to ensure it is correct!all weights are with me sitting in the car, I weigh 75kgs so you have to take that weight off the figure shown my standard 205 1.9 GTI with factory sunroof, 914.4kgs with my weight taken off  my 205 GTI with full interior and factory sunroof with MI16 engine and gearbox, 936.3kgs  my 205 GTI stripped and omp roll cage, with 306 GTi-6 engine and gearbox, 911.7kgs  and lastly my 306 Rallye with nothing in! yet still has standard glass still in! 868.3kgs  ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

Currently weighs 1040kg with heavy half cage. That will go this year for a proper cage so will gain weight there. Aim to get as close to a ton as possible without spending lots of money ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

I have had the door cards since the start of this project a few years ago and only now got round to fitting them! They came from Italy and were bloody expensive!!as Dave says light weight wheels is another thing to look at, the BTCC wheels on this are 5 kgs a wheel lighter than the standard cyclones so thats 20kgs saving there alone! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .
