pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted December 15, 2006 247mm 205 front disc------------4.3kgs. 1.6 or 1.9? There is possibly a slight difference (as small as 100g) due to the different offset. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted January 8, 2007 I recently ripped out all of the soundproofing from inder the carpet in my 205 and it came in at 13.8kg and the only downside is that it's slightly louder in the cabin but to combat this i just turn the sterio up.

kyepan 291 Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) now updated anyone know the following? Bendix front caliper--------------2.2 kgs 247mm 205 front disc------------4.3 kgs Standard front pads---------------approx 1kgs Kgs total for 205 1.6 setup including 4 pads, 2 discs, 2 calipers 14 Kgs 307 Hdi 283mm x 26 brake disc-----6.9 kgs 307 hdi bosch caliper----------5 Kgs Ferodo ds2500 pads--------------1.2 Kgs Total for 307 setup including 4 pads, 2 discs, 2 calipers. 25 kgs... exactly. so to offset the extra unsprung weight, you would need to loose 5kgs a side (oz superlegeras vs standard 1.9 speedlines) Cheers Justin Edited March 27, 2007 by kyepan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted March 29, 2007 just thought i'd add that as far as paint goes...WHITE is the lightest paint you can get. Yay my car is good at something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPGTi 2 Posted March 30, 2007 just thought i'd add that as far as paint goes...WHITE is the lightest paint you can get. Yay my car is good at something How do you work that out ? density of a typical white paint is 1.3 density of a typical black paint is 1 A black paint formulated with carbon black pigment has a much better opacity therefore less paint is needed to get full coverage. Therefore even going with using 2 litres of each paint to paint the outside of a car. mass = volume x density white - mass = 2 x 1.3 = 2.6kg black - mass = 2 x 1 = 2kg Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted March 30, 2007 a friend of mine who has been spraying race cars for 30 years now in a business that he took over from his dad who was doing it for 40 years told me that white is the lightest colour. I chose to take his word for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
