A2 on a track day! That must have been a sight![]()
The bench rear is extremely heavy. What does the 1.2 3L weigh ?
This thread makes me think - I've read a lot of threads on aero mods, but very few if any on weight saving.
From my experience of other cars, unless you're willing to strip out the interior, removing rear seats etc, it's very expensive to save a few kg with carbon fibre parts or such like.
But nevertheless it would be a fun project to read to see how light someone could get a road legal A2.![]()
Not wrong at all there. I know a few blokes who race vintage/classic motorbikes and their attitude, when comparing means to improve performance, is to keep stick thin rather than spend hundreds of pounds on titanium levers and other parts like a lot of other competitors do.Leave out rear seats as we do one one a2 it’s like our van ..or it has dog crate in ..so much lighter .but by far best weight saving is healthy diet no booze or fast food ??? no seriously.. I’m 12st sally is 8.5st but if your a big lad saving a few pounds on lighter parts is a bit of nonsense ....or am I wrong ?

Always makes me wonder how the F1 teams spend millions saving every nanogram on a vehicle, then allow the drivers to grow trendy face fur...surely they would be better asking them to be close shaven if not totally hairless like cyclists are!!!!I think the reason I have never been approached by racing team is because I like sausage butties too much...that's my reasoning anyway.Not wrong at all there.
