Carbon bodywork

Post by SG Hawk »

Firstly I am a new member so be nice :grin: however i have been following these forums (V4 in perticular) for a while now because I am hopefully going to be buying an NC35 off an old friend.

I have decided im going to take the lotus method of 'adding less weight' rather than any engine mods (appart from the exhaust which also saves weight :grin: ) so was wondering how much weight replacement carbon body pannels actualy save, any numbers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Simon

I'd speak with Chris, if there's a demand he might be up for it.
I'd bought a few bits at the same time, I'm sure it was around the 250ish mark for the lowers/ v-piece.

I can ask TYGA to weigh all the NC35 parts for you so that you can get an idea of the weight saving
