Pedja Member 42 Member For: 12y 7m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 16/09/13 05:58 AM Share Posted 16/09/13 05:58 AM Weight reduction is the topic.Thought I might start this topic to see what people have done to their cars to reduce the weight because lets face it, 1600-1800kg is a lot....Spare tires? Smash beams? fibre glass? anything you have done or are thinking of doing.Thanks guys!!!
