What would a FD3S weigh if you did everything
you could to lighten/reduce weight in race
trim.

WITH IN REASON.. realistically..
Not all Carbon fiber body and engine and etc.

Like removing door panels, passenger door,
carpeting, spare tires and etc..

Thanks

 

Damn i didnt know they made a carbon fiber engine.

 

OK NO Titinium engine.. and suspension..

 

A couple of people have got them down to 2400lbs supposedly, and I am sure one or two may have went a little lower. Kevin Wyum's car was light as hell although I don't know the weight I think it was in the low 2k lb's range. But that's removing alot, and I mean alot of stuff.

 

Ti expands when it heats up... unless you want to squeze an apex seal through your manifold....

 

It does? What about the HKS ti exhaust...wouldn't that be a problem if ti did infact expand like you say?

 

all metals expand. its not just ti.

 

my BB R1 weighed 2660 without driver...in full trim without spare...half tank of gas....
no AP/AC/ACV/EGR/AWS....with DP/MP/CB

 

I think Cam got his car down to 2100.

 

There is a carbon fiber driveshaft. I wonder about the benefits on those...

 

cf driveshaft is light, strong and cost $1000 last time I checked.
