How much do you weigh Rick? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Well in order to meet my peformance targets I need to loose 8kgs from myself, 20kg from the car, and gain 85bhp. Will any of it ever happen? - probably not. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

An extra 50bhp and 50kg's less would be nice for us! lol but I doubt it. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

There's a fair amount of redundant stuff that we can throw away to save weight. I reckon there's a fair bit to remove On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I wouldn't use Bad and Pauls Sprint in the same sentence to be honest. I think his car is awesome and I reckon he could put it back to full road trim easily enough. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

On weights. John and Andy keep throwing out challenges to me on the strip, but my car weights just under 900kg and I am 105kg so its not likely I,ll ever get near their times unless I can magic 250bhp out of my engine (I wish ) You're going GT17, so the top side of 200 bananas is plausible.

Lets see, eh ?. Last time I was on a RR I expected at least 130 wotsits with the T3 but the RR said 114. |

We got the opposite Dave. Expecting 130ish and got 150ish (I reckon the RR was optimistic however)
