Originally posted by K Simmonds View PostThanks, that's not to bad but 20kg's is well worth saving especially at the front, my aim is not only to reduce the over all mass but to try and improve the front to back distribution as much as I can. I suppose when used with a duel mass fly wheel the weight penalty is higher. Think I'll try and stick with a fiver speed box but hang on to the six speed just in case the five speed doesn't hack it.

The spare wheel well is perfect, there's enough room to mount an Avant battery tray in there tidily and fit a decent size battery without it being higher than the level of the boot floor, which I will make level all the way across. There would also be enough room in there for a small 12v compressor and two bottles of tyre sealant. I'm going to ditch the spare wheel as a 17"x8" wheel doesn't fit in a satisfactory manner anyway.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro... Budget 1.8T Project.

I had my 3b (aircon, non sliding roof) on a weight on my work.
With a full tank, no spare tyre, no rearseat, only 2 speakers in the front, cats fitted, 18 inch wheels and a RS2 ic it was 1440 kg / 3175 lbs. No persons in it.
So it's still a long way to reach 1300 kilo...www.S2power.com
