Swiss_Tony Posted December 26, 2000 Author Share Posted December 26, 2000 Have you seen me? What a small world it is! The other day I had my paper underpants on. Then it started to rain.They went soggy and fell off which left me naked! I continued in the name of science but after they released me I decided that there was no marked improvement. Any other ideas? James cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE600 Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 Removing things is the cheapest option. When you run out of things to take off, start replavcing things with lighter items. Wheels, pick the lightest items, mine are 3.5 kg each. Lightest tires. Not sure which are best. Light weight disks for the brakes. Some are Ceramic metal matrix. Not sure who makes them, but they reduce the unsprung weight, the same as the wheels and tires, and will therefore enhance handling. Lighter brake callipers as well. THey have been recenly been weighed in a previous thread. As Dr Porsche says "if you wish to add speed, add lightness" Regards Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
