Hey dude, have you got any fitted pics of these? Be good to see what the fit is like as Val was saying before its so hard to get a great fit these days

mmmmmm.....lovely

 

i need some money......

Whats the weight on one of these compared with the stock bonnet?

[Guest prescience]

The stock bonnet is fairly light already - I would guess only about 3 lbs lighter than stock (~10% difference)

[Removed]

to compare (since I can! )

 

my fibreglass bonnet weighs.... 12kg (just weighed it today)

the OEM bonnet weighs..... 12Kg!

 

yup, you read it right.... aluminium weighs the same as fibreglass in this case, pretty interesting uh?

[Guest prescience]

I had 26 lbs (12 kgs) as a number as well

 

I think aly is about 1/3 density of steel for example

[Removed]

wonder if you save any weight at all with a CF one

[Guest prescience]

Some - the density is less than 2000

[mugwump]

Hmm, doesnt sound like alot of benefit then.... thanks for the replies chaps.

 

Any other thoughts on how to put the Zed on a diet?

All savings considered...... short of drilling holes!

 

I seem to recall someone saying there is a weight in the bootlid? Is this something that can be removed (probably at the exspense of a nice thunk when it closes but I dont care about that).

 

Seats are about 50Kg I understand but I dont really want to lose the heaters (I like a toasty posterior) but they are still on the maybe list for a swap.

 

Any other easy savings?

 

Swap it for an elise.....

my guy at the bodyshop says that the bootlid is extremly heavy with the glass out - but changing to carbon fibre would surley take the weight from the back wheels were you need it ?? - would look the dogs dangglees though

Braille lightweight battery, 11.5lbs vs 34lbs stock that's my battery when mine will need replacing

[mugwump]

have plenty of weight over the back end, what with that body in the boot......

 

Have thought about a carbon bootlid, looked at the seibon, any other good ones?

Fook! Where do I get one! The battery is also mounted very high in the car so thats a double win.

Hi all,

 

Sorry for the late reply, to be honest we have not weight this bonnet, but teh skyline oen we supply is 8kg and I will say it should be more less the same, is not much differnet but just the look.

 

We have a couple arrive in end of June and we will defo bring them with us to the JAE show, so if you want to see the quality or try the fitemnt, we can do it there lol

 

Just wonder is there any one interested in carbon boot lid?? we can get them but is made to order, we are thinking to get one for shows as well, but want to chekc is theer any demand on the market.

 

Last thing is we ak#lraedy book a 14m x 14m stand in JAE, if anyone want to put their car in our stand in the JAE show, it is welcome, but i think last year you guys stand is not far from us anyway, but if any one interested, please let me know.

 

Thanks
