i can defo feel that its lighter over the rear wheels, the seats, airbag and manifold weight are soon to be shed. performance (bhp) per tonne should be nicely increased.

see here for a mess around

[renton]

where did you get the cf boot lid from?

 

[sushiming]

iam like the carbon bonnet more and more now may need to invest later on :thumbs:

 

[Topper]

Car looks really good mate :thumbs:, as i've said before, a white S15 with carbon bonnet and the side painted white looks sweet, but with the boot too, i wouldnt paint it :no:

What weight to use for that link? With 1240 it says i should see 4.93s 0-60mph.

 

[Nicely]

I think you'd find that rear end traction would be a deciding factor. Particularly with less weight on them...

 

[Topper]

Agreed, i dont think i could get the car to do that :no:, although i willl try

 

[pablo]

that website i posted is very good (and a bit of fun), if you read the explanations on how its calculated it does go on to say about tyres and suspension etc. it does show perhaps the potential of the car?

the boot is a duluck item i bought it from pow r.

there is a weigh bridge local to me, i will use it soon.

you can feel that just by what ive done to the rear end, but on day to day driving...planting it when rolling the car s taking off nicely

 

[pablo]

few little changes have been done. their not arty shots but you get the idea....

manifold, radiator and catch can since last time i believe

added the radiator for better cooling and planning on removing the viscous fan for an electric set up this month, which should make it look very different (it removes the black plastic hump and all thats under it.

(p.s the fog light is now gone)

and hows this matching nissans / colour/ wheels and colour coded cat!

yummmmmmmmm titanium exhaust system (weighs lesss than a gnats bullock!)

these sets have just turned up at the parcelforce depot according to my tracking number so they might make a debut

bride gias low max

carbon Kevlar and aluminum lightweight jdm whore-ness!

enjoy!

Flippin' heck Pablo, any more beautiful white Jap cars parked up outside your place and you might wanna rename it to 'Daikoku Futo UK'...

Both cars lookin' ace and very clean!

Bet the titanium zorst sounds different - aren't they supposed to be louder?

 

[moomin]

hey pablo! hows it going!?

car is starting to look real sweet now! think i may have seen you a few weeks ago too? :wave:
afraid i cant help much with the mirrors, i know the ones you mean, and they are very nice indeed, but i dont no the best place to get them from!?!?
anyhoo, i spotted some...wait for it.....carbon doors!, not to everyones taste and it would take some balls to put them on, (spose you could always paint them) anyway, just thought i would let you no, what with your lightweight mission and all that! :thumbs:
:wave:

 

[Yakozan]

Daikoku Futo whats that mean? and i dont know if titanium is any louder, car has cats still, but she has some titanium coated manifolds from vielside and the decats to go on very soon! its quite loud already...


moomin? where did you see me?.... and im looking into wider fenders, i think ill leave the doors for the moment though!

 

[LuPix_S15]

Daikoku Futo is a service stop area in Yokohama which is an urban area just outside of Tokyo.

It is well known because on any given night, all sorts of wonderful (and usually heavily modified) Jap cars turn up to meet at this place. Once the usual ritual of friendly chat abour cars has finished, it's then followed by a blast up and down the *Wangan.

*Wangan - translates as 'bay-side' and is a toll road which runs along the bay from Tokyo to Yokohama.
