Small Urs6 project!

[maiks]

Don't have space to do that, but I'd love to do a proper restoration. In the future hopefully.

Good luck
My garage is 4x6m. Lift the car and under the car is plenty of room
Just lay down and relax

After removing stuff from bottom of the car, did you put any addition sound deadening anywhere? I suspect coating acts as corrosion protection and sound insulation?

Yes, there is nothing else but those


Those should protect from corrosion and lower the sound.
Will see after several years if it works or not
Are you planning to do same with your car? If so, then I wish you strong nerves

Not bad. Hope it's all worth it

Weight loss was not planned at first, but after removing all the crap under the car, I had a sporty interest to see how much it weighs after
And the woofer was also removed because I wanted to get access to the fuel tank.
All original parts are still attached to the car.

What do you think reduced the weight? I assume exhaust system for one

New exhaust is definately lighter.
All stuff that I removed under the car,was quite heavy too. Most of the weight loss was there.
At the beginning I planned to weigh all that, but I have tiny garage so no space for old crap.
Also removed the subwoofer and etc.
Even old spare wheel place was heavier than new aluminium plate...
Hmm what more.. don't remember.
Easy 5-15kg can be removed if rear bumper holder was made to aluminium I am not planning to pull a trailer
And something more and weight nr begins with 15xx
Artis makes carbon hoods and wings

Weighed the car and results are
Almost full tank 1620 kg
Last year it was more than 1720 kg, don't remember how much.

Also taped EM. For cooler enginebay.



And quick DIY
Very easy to make pressure test. 5 min.
Metal thing is ventilation cap or something.

Why do you think that?
