[The Batman]

Sounds good to me cheers buddy

Just so we're clear; do you mean the 'boot bonnet'...bonnet? or the front...errrrrrrr bonnet. My rear engine cover is off at the mo you see, so if you mean that one I can check when I get home, about to leave the office now.

[The Batman]

i mean the bonnet not the bootlid cheers for the offer on weight of the bootlid though, running a completely different setup to that though

[DarrylB]

[The Batman]

Cheers buddy if you can Looking at hopefully saving some more weight there... We will see if it's grams or kilos soon

If you would still require the venting to help the flow from the radiator then I suspect you could save yourself 300-700g as trying the lay and set CF to the right shapes would be a bollox of a job.

It's moderately heavy Joe, I remember trying to fit mine back on to the bracket a few weeks ago and it was around 3 to 4 KG at a guess. The bracket alone is probably 500 grams. Have you considered taking the ABS unit out altogether? I bet thats a bit heavy and useless weight too and getting in presumably an obstacle for the brake fluid to flow through. Will affect insurance though...

[The Batman]

[DarrylB]

I gotta take the door off anyway to replace the hinge...

[The Batman]

Weigh that for me aswell please

Joe, I think you'll find that once you drive you car after it's been mapped you won't be so obsessed about weight. Also, I think weight reduction from the rear of the car is far more valueable due to the imbalance of the front/rear axle loadings. I've been vaguely considering moving my swirl pot + header tanks fwd to shift the centre of weight forward. Have you got a lightweight boot lid yet BTW ? Honestly, once you have 400+ BHP, it will be much more about 'balls' than weight. I find the thing that hold me back is not lack of power but simply 'guessing' how fast you can get round a corner without spinning off.
