How much does your race car weigh???

- Huge SouthernSkylines.com stickers on the sides of the car will add at least 12-14hp more.

In that case i wonder how much more horsepower has been added with my Toyspeed windscreen banner and side window stickers. Or maybe loss of 5-10hp?

AW11 MR2 with carpet and sound deadening removed. 1/8th tank of gas, spare wheel, full glove box and crap in the boot. 940kg less driver.

Hoping to get the race car down to 900ish dry with cage.

That's very interesting. My stripped and caged AW11 just weighed in at 1093kg incl driver (I'm 70kg) and 1/4 tank.

Haven't even got my track car yet (plans are below) but hope i could get it as light as possible.

- Aim for little over 300 hp at the wheels, either by staying NA ($$$)

Thats a VERY big ask unless you are going to spend HUGE money on head porting, WILD cams, and the thing would be BARELY driveable in traffic.
it would essientially be, a 2.5 IL6 super touring car engine.

Nothing like a challenge. It is my super long term goal and i'm not going to cheap out on anything if it isn't worth it.

Its been suggested to increase/decrease the compression ratio to 1:1 or something (not sure if that can be done, i know nothing about that sort of thing anyway) to make it rev like nothing else.

I know i could easily get 300 hp by slapping a turbo on, but... i dunno. Just doesn't seem right, i want it to stay NA and my preference actually lies with a supercharger at the moment. With one of those belt thingys to make it really whine.

Try something like 14:1 compression

Are you using the SC gearbox? There's a fair bit of weight in that sucker (maybe 30kg more than a C5*?) plus the weight of your SC (10-15kg?), cage, seems like that could account for the extra 80kg you're carrying

I'm running the factory n/a gearbox (the 4agze was a conversion), and bigger bolt on Toyota brakes. The brakes would weigh about the same as the brakes on an s/c model.

got the car down to 940kg, as easy as ditching the power steering setup in it, more weight reduction to come
