any ideas on making ZTT lighter?

[DeleriousZ]

yeah, losing 50 lbs off your fat ass will help it loads, especially in cornering... balances out the car better and makes it less driverside heavy (ever wonder why the battery's usually on the passenger side of the car?)

anything that lightens rotating mass is going to make a huge difference, like your lightened strengthened driveshaft and 18lb racing wheels....

also, try things like. diet and exercise

hey i tough about that to, but i should only be good for 50lbs

i heard every 100 lbs you gain a 1/8th of a second not 1/10th ...

[Kuntry_Boi06]

i dont wanan start and argument but im pretty sure its 1/10th, i hear that a lot around the local tracks.

The 100lbs = 1/10sec is at a set amount of horsepower. I don't know the exact figure, but it is still a good estimating tool.

sure they do... check out the rota's and graem lights... i've seen some as light as 8.5 lbs for a 15x8 wheel....

c'mon...those are for civic hatchs...not big ole Z's. it would look like it was rolling on donuts.

[Kuntry_Boi06]

yeah, lol, 15 are kinda small

[DeleriousZ]

16's aren't much heavier, i was just using it as an example...

[Hodo]

Actually there are lighter 16" wheels but they are close to 4Gs for the set.

Pfft thats all pansy stuff, get into street bikes and they make carbon fiber wheels that weigh 2 pounds.

Anyway:

Side note: There was a guy on TT.net that had a replacement windshield and rear hatch glass made from I believe Lexan and he found it only saved him like 20 pounds or something like that, certainly not enough for the money.
