Weights to come,
you will have to contact Carl for a price (unless he wants to post it here) for your needs as non of it is the usual stuff. The beam on his site is designed to carry the normal radious arms and we did something a little different with the arms too

benross in a metro this conversion would just about drop straight in one of the kits on the market is based on the metro front subframe - your more than welcome to come for a nosey, i dont have much to show just yet though lol

the old subframe weighs in at 16.1 kg bare
the old arms weigh in at 10.9kg
snd the mountings and bolts further 1.9kg
so i make that 39.8kg

new beam is 5.1kg
new arms are 9.8kg
callipers and mounts another 0.6kg per side
so i make that 25.9 kg

13.9kg saving so far,

with a full roll cage to come im very tempted to loose the boot floor and a few other bits on top

well to cut a long story short the boot floor has had to come out, and i think the seat back will follow while im at it, sort of semi spaceframing the rear end, then ill put some ally panels back in

saw these and thought mmm genuine carbon,

just get the bloody thing built , I want to see it trying to get 387 bhp down , would make me feel a lot better to see someone else with my traction problems .but with 48's.not falkens.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

387bhp is his skyline Robert.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

This is all a bit fishy. Presumably force rear hubs, with the rear arms positioned in such a way that you can't see the back of them. And now this mysterious reason that the boot floor is coming out and rear arches need replacing with genuine carbon...

Please tell me that this is going to be twin vtec turbo.

In the 13's at last!.. Just
