however to trully lighten the car, you need to strip it down.

If you do that! then you deserve this :fishyface:

besides the MK1 is the better track day car.

mtte do fiberglass boot lit, engine cover and bonnet.

I fully stripped my mk1 for the track it was fun :) ,... but i had to keep it road legal cause i didn't have a trailer :( sold it in the end too much hassle, If had cash burning holes in my pockets i'd get the a carbon bonnet and the glassfiber engine cover and boot lid.

anyway, would you really want the rear end to be lighter

Could always take out one of the seats make it a one seater car

Steve: i've got a nice big trailer for sale

We've now got a tow bar, like what the AA use.

Infact I do believe it is from a AA van.

sold the aw11 now :)

I like that site with the carbon goodies, as for lightening the rear, hell yes, the weight is rear biast at present so weight distribution would be improved loosing rear end weight. in AW11 circles its normal to cut the bumper bar out of the bumper to reduce weight behind the rear wheels, did it to mine :), another reason single exit pipes are popular in japan, they weight loads less than twin pipes :) looing the stock down pipe saves approx 10lbs in one swoop :) will have to reorder an extremeboost pipe when they finally arrive in this country :)

your never going to get 50/50 distrubition.

If you want a car like that, buy a Super Seven not a MK2 :)

besides thats what gives the MR2 that fantastic launch. :D
