Could you tell us more what you did to get to 1050 kg?

If i correct the car was orginal an 2.3 quattro? Lets say 1300 kg. The new engine + intercooler, bigger brakes etc should make it weight more.
Lets say 1350 kg.

300 kg less is impressive. How much weight is gained by fiberglass?

I have an stripped 90Q and im hoping for 1200-1250 kg ( i dont have fiberglass) so im woundering in what other area you lost weight. .

Rally would look great to me as well but im not nearly that far.

i had 1050kg without rollcage and biger brakes.
cut out a lot of steel from inside,
removed all insulation inside and underneath,
removed interior,
removed sunroof,
removed gastank,
the hood is approx 4 kg,
front bumper 1,5kg
the car was 1250-1270kg in original standing.

What did you put in the sunroof instead?

I also removed all insulation and interior but i still have a normal bumper and hood but i think that only 20 kg difference. How much would the gastank safe?

I dont have airco and i lost powersteering (maybe i want to put this back)

Im hoping voor 1200 kg driver not included.

I didnt know that insulation and interior safe that much kg

the insulation was approx 20kg, the original bumper was heavy, the hood with insulation was more than 10kg i think. the tank is another 15kg. my tank is fia aprowed race fuel tank. i think its safe.

the seat was 15-18kg, the race seats 4,8kg.

there is a lot of 5-10kg savings. all of them make a big difference.

Why guys in old audis usually wear helmets in such activities, and guys in bmw do not? Different head quality ?

the bmw cabrio owner has too big head to wear helmet.
