With a stock 1.7 how much weight would you have to lose via FG/CF hoods,lids and such to see a performance gain? This is a purely theorectical question regarding how weight affects the performance of the engine, I am not planning on doing this... |

The car is bascially bone stock outside of SS heat exchangers and a bursch exhaust. I figured the weight drop would have to be substantial. I read in the archives about the FG/CF stuff: Great for racing, bad for street cause they don't look so good and collison is baaaaaad. I'm just going to have to build myself a 2.0 at some point, or maybe start by driving one first...are they that much quicker, really? |
