Mazda 3 BK 2.0 2006 model track car build - with weight reduction info!
G'day from Australia! A couple of progress shots.I just picked up my first Mazda, a 2006 Mazda 3 2.0 manual. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...9891dd1f08.jpg This rocket is gonna be used on the track only, won't be street driven. Went on a mission to remove some weight from the vehicle. I'm keeping tabs in my phone of everything I gut out of the car. I am a 105kg sack of meat so I have to compensate for the lack of power by making this car lighter! Here is the list of items that I've removed so far, and each item has been weighed with an accurate set of kitchen scales (weights are within 50g). I'll update this cumulative as I take more things out of my 3: From boot - Tow hook 350g Jack handle 300g Wheel brace 350g Spare wheel cover 1800g Spare wheel cover carpet 2000g Jack 1700g Spare wheel 9100g Spare wheel bracket 200g Number plate lights 100g 15.9kg Interior rear- Boot lid trim 500g Parcel shelf 2200g Inner boot trims 1200g Boot jam trim 800g Rear passenger floor mat 800g Boot carpet 2000g Rear passenger ashtray 100g Rear seat bracket LH 250g Rear seat bracket RH 250g Rear seat bracket centre 650g Rear seatbelt LH 700g Rear seatbelt RH 700g Rear seat base 5100g Rear seat LH 4800g Rear seat RH 9400g Wheel arch trims 1200g Rear airbag trims 700g Centre seat belt 700g Centre seat belt stalks 300g Rear seatbelt stalks 300g 32.65kg Interior front: Front floor mats 1000g 1kg Engine compartment- Plastic engine cover 1200g 1.2kg Rear interior before: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...3319d10bd4.jpg Rear interior after: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...4a48212b33.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...07b58125e5.jpg Boot before: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...ae64aea23d.jpg Boot after: https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...8016798e3e.jpg Some of the removed stuff so far: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...124f2678b1.jpg |
