they didnt let drag race, sicne i had a big crack in my widnshield, said it was a track hazzard. whatever ill get it fixed soona nd go back so on the way back from the drag strip, at the certified CAT scale i was passing. it was at 2440 lbs with 1/4-1/3 gas in the tank, the amount i drive with all the time anyway. i still had a few toys in the car, atelst 20 lbs. car ahs full interior, its an S5 with power widnows, power seat bealts, and all that good stuff. i do not have PS, AC, no spare tire, (i still have to get a fix flat kit) hardtop, no rear wiper, no wing in teh back, fc2000 bumper, many of you seen the engine bay i assume so you know not much there either. but as far as comfort goes its all ther and functioning except ps and ac if u can call that comfort.

anyone else weight theirs?

 

Awesome job

 

Holy **** that's light for a S5!

I wonder what the difference is between non-sunroof and sunroof equipped cars.

Any pics of the engine bay?

Good job man, and with a full interior at that! Have any other plans to get that a little lower? You're skimpin on FB weight there!

I assume this is WITHOUT driver correct?

Anywho, awesome weight,
Jon

 

thats the engine bay, mien came with the sunroof i took it out and nwo its a hradtop, its a welded in sheet. teh sunroof was abotu 28 lbs. weight is with no driver. i coudl prolyl remove another 50 lbs, from the little stuff here and there.

 

Thats a very interesting manifold setup, care to elaborate?

 

the setup is not done, search under my name if you want to know more. once the setup is complete it might be out for sale if the demand is there.

 

doesn't seem like that would make 4-500 lbs worth of weight redux.

 

wow thats light. Maybe there is hope for my damn near fully loaded s4 gxl! lol

 

Might want to put a dual alternator belt.

 

Kahren, where's CT? "achtung" is obviously german and german pounds are 10% heavier
than american pounds. just a curious thought. ich liebe die mutterland.

supposedly that setup makes "needing" a dual pulley less necessary.

 

dont need one when the waterpump has 50% more belt contact form relocating the alternator.

 

wow amazingly light. my car w/me + spare and full enterior with 1/4 tank was 2715, you have one light *** car

um they dont refer to it as mother land... only country to call it der Vaterland.

 

I love rotary's in their most simplest form! looks so clean!

wow my s4 base has no options and alot of stuff removed but still wieghs 2500 thats amazing that yours wieghed 2440 i'd like to see mine on that scale cause my car has to be lighter than a s5 with power windows

 

yes, it is widely referred to as "Das Vaterland," but i'm accustomed to motherland. i dont believe its improper to refer to it as "Das Mutterland." problem with Das Vaterland is that it means "the land of my father." my dad was not born in germany, so it isnt the land of my father. but thats getting technical with meanings.

 

CT is Connecticut guys :-P BTW I think you could shave another couple hundred by getting that beer-keg out of your enginebay, it's not necessary to have brew with you wherever you go.

But it IS!........1

Oh, good numbers.

 

Fritz.... i must go with 1revvinFC3S.... beer is a MUST when traveling long distances, and is a valuable ally on those lonely nights, or in post-stress situations.... beer is always your friend :-)

but drink responsibly - too many people try to outdrink each other, and there's no point -

it's all about getting drunk and having fun :-)

-Andrew-

 

I was actually talking about the beerkeg that is striped with the alternator and other crap attached to it, in the middle of the engine bay.

--Fritz

 

I like to have both

Also I must add that this car is no joke for an NA...with stock ports...weird. Kahren I really think you need to post a small vid an give them a taste of this...keg.

 

put a freakin header on it man!

headlights look sick.

Lemme see it when its done!!

btw im getting Sandor's FMIC, ill try to put it on myself but if i run into any problems im calling ur *** :P

 

header is on, but the whoel exhaust is gettign changed now to a 3"

so its all commingoff again. intercooler shoudlnt bee too hard to isntall just takes some time.
cant wait to get it painted

 

a friend and i recorder this video, i think it will better explain what the car is about.
the connection might not be the greatest, but its all ive got for now
