**Piers14** · 2-23-07, 8:56

What ya think? Installed new lighter door trims. Was surprised the original ones weighed 2.7 Kgs each...

id you fabricate the door cards yourself and what are they made of??

sorry to go off the topic a little

They weigh 250g.. A good weight saving. Got a sheet from a motorsport store and cut them myself... They are a plastic carbon effect sheet..

You never cease to suprise me. You got any work done to your "unit" yet

**Piers14** · 2-24-07, 17:22

Not yet.. Have taken the engine out of the spare 6 and plan to rebuild it. Have been working hard on making many changes to the track 6..

Cool, btw have you thought of ditching the carpets ?

Only have two small pieces, one for each footwell for use when its a wet day. Keeps the pedals from getting to slippery... The backing is removed so they are very light...
Still removing extra weight where I can find it.. Removed the ABS system, door trims & sound deadning two weeks ago.. Just weighed the folding door mirrors and they weigh 1.5 Kgs each.. so they are going in the bin..

Thanks.. Its a small mod to save a few Kilos, but it all adds up. I'm putting on new door mirrors tomorrow to save another couple of kilos... Those electric folding mirrors are way to heavy..
