[wilf]

Having gone as far as i can with getting power from my 748/853 i am now planning to get as much weight off it as possible for the start of the season.

done just about all i can think of, at the end of last season it weighed in at 182 kgs with fuel, transponder, lap timer etc etc (ie as it would be at the start of a race.)

with a few more mods i think it'll come down to just under 180 kgs (thats the number i'm aiming for!)

As you DSC guys tend to get carried away with these things has anyone got a lighter 748 / 996???

There's an AMA 996 RS factory in the showroom that is 170 kgs but its just not worth the thousands getting the last 10 kgs (carbon tank, mag yokes, no starter motor / tiny battery, tiny generator etc)

So, any tricks that dont cost the earth to getting rid of the weight sure i've missed something ???

oh and yes, i've been on a diet since xmas
