Late last year, I was looking at upgrading the factory speakers, while upgrading I noticed how heavy these were, so I decided to remove them all together, I reckon I improved my 0-100 by about .3, it also help me concentrate on the roads more (no music pumping) whilst hitting boost.

Guys, this thread has made me think. I have just filled my tyres with helium. This actually reduced the mass of the vehicle.

I cant wait to run it down the strip with my new mod.

I also like to run 5 locknuts on each wheel as they're approximately 0.005 grams lighter per nut...

Only downside is... To keep weight down I have to leave lock but keys at home... And if I broke down, my wife would have to drive out and deliver if I needed to change a tyre :-(

Paulie... Run helium balloons in the boot and back seat. I dropped 0.5 second off my 1/4 time...

Yeah Dillz was thinking of running 4 front runners like Staino has on the front of his ute. would nitrogen perform better instead of air in the tyres?
