    Unofficial weight reduction thread

    I read 11lbs sound deaning rear seats and 5,5lbs under seats. Full sound deaning, copy-paste: "That's correct I weighed it all. Sound deadening is made of tar and heavy plastic type stuff. I'll be generous and say 45-50lb because the tar remover soaked into the tar a little so probably added...

    Hi guys. ¿What you think about remove stabilizer bars? My case, i bought a kit for reemplace all suspension bushing kit but stabilizer bar bushings dont fit (not big problem anyway), but before, this "mod" was in my list of crazy things for remove unsprung weight (stabilizer bar is sprung...

    If we use his calipers less problems, pistons probably titanium, they protect brake fluid too. Like i said to Lifnot i contacted years ago with sicom Brakes (too small rotors, they are matrix ceramic composite), and they refused because i dont have titanium pistons, and they sell for Fitat 500...

    I dont know the pistons diameter of freno in this moment, or where the calipers come from. I have some reference, 2mm of pistons area are equal to 10mm in diameter rotor. Anyway, ¿you saw the graphic of temperature/friction coefficient? seems like increase very fast, i dont think the pistons...

    Any interest/vendors making CF OEM Style Wings?

    Old thread but i was interested too, not big saving, but interesting when this weight is far of center gravity, so very nice saves for reduce polar moment inertia. Maybe the closest option is the Stock Zanardi -3,7lbs. Stock: 14lbs Stock R: 11,1lbs (i doubt about this, stock R dry CF parts was...

    I dont know the pistons diameter of freno in this moment, or where the calipers come from, ¿you say they are the same calipers than F2 cars? nice to know I have some reference, 2mm of pistons area are equal to 10mm in diameter rotor. Anyway, ¿you saw the graphic of temperature/friction...

    They say 280mm, but Formula cars use 278mm so im not sure, stock 91' NSX is 282mm (for reference). Width is optional 24mm or 21mm, stock NSX is 28mm front and 21mm rear if not remember bad.

    I live in the other side (Valencia), yet we are "iberians", but my family is very close of Portugal (Extremadura). Last option, notice my custom hat in first picture, and the stock black hat from Freno Carbon (the picture with the weights is not mine), i think the company is from UK, thats...

    CB72, yes you are right, i can use proportionning valve, but i dont know why never interested, no reason really... i think i can control with softer rear tires. Per example 300 treadwear front and 240-260 rear. Of course will be better 4 soft tires and correct brake bias, but i dont track the...

    Thanks!, i will copy-paste because i have some confused references of weight, caliper with pads, without, new, worn out, with/without brackets... only you changed weight caliper for rotor, but finally is the same. This is grams, so: 265gr/0,5lbs 1770gr/3,9lbs 1953gr/4,3lbs Maybe the big...

    And the handbrake caliper, like this in red: Pic about some software used for the custom procces of the handbrake caliper: Yes, around 45lbs per axle, but im scared for pass the legal test, NSX dont designed for 50-50 brake bias, not even today rear engine Porsches (i use same kit front...

    Im adapting small carbon ceramic brakes (around stock size), a lot custom work, hats, handbrake calipers and specially with caliper brackets for his small diameter (small space for brackets), they are almost finished but dont test yet, i will post pics in the future if all work fine. They...
