Ebay Starter
on my weight saving journey i have come across this, considering that my starter is 2 starters bodged together, is it worth the investment?
Lol it'll be virtually no lighter.
Why do you have two starters bodged together? Mine was always fine with the std pinto starter.
I hope you are taking out your comfy seats and fitting FG ones
And removing your carpet
looks similar to my toyota one.

can't remember i just do

no chance those grp seats are no where near as comfy as mine, i would like to see a weight comparison cuz they aint heavy at all!
And removing your carpet
haha, never! lol, you have to have some luxury
Lol, the grps are about 3 kg each so half the weight of the cobras
Why the thoughts of weight saving Alex? Seriously? The biggest 2 weight savings you could get is swap the Pinto for a Duratec and fit 13"
rims.
The first would save you a good 40kg and the second around 10-15kg depending on the wheels.
You would have to do a lot of work in any other areas to save that much for the same money. 80% gain for 20% effort

Yeah but if alex lost 20kg there wouldnt be anything left to drive the car!
Ah yes
depending on the starting point there may be some limits to the sucess of my plan
Being a fat bstrd to start with helps
burton power sell those edge ones (but for £183) I'm told you really only need them if you've got a high CR and your std. one can't
coupe
I got a very similar one from H&H but I didn't pay as much as that for it
(and its hardly any ligher at all btw)
