This is heavy CF with high charge Epoxy due to exhaust proximity.
OEM weights 3.75kg... It does not spread the heat like the metal one to the chassis.

With NACA and deflector integrated: -25gr

I don't think it will be possible. I hope I will be ready by April, but as the car will need to full repaint, I assume it will not be ready before May...

@rapidos
I asume you mean you will remove the paint alltogether to save weight right

No. As the car is still road legal, I need a paint on it. So I will probably go for something still not done on any speedster, something sporty !

No carbon fiber today

but minus 0.78kg !

Today I start a difficult item...

The gain in weight is 0.58kg.

Here are the three NACA I will fix on the main carbon bottom plate. Only few grams of gain here (25gr...) but those are fire resistant and will be directly fixed on.

Stronger anti-roll-bar adds weight?

I think the delta from "with and without airbag" is still positive for me. I assume close to 1kg of gain. I will calculate it when everything will be fitted.

Same for the ARB. I will weight the OEM (I assume lighter).

No. I keep the car road legal till 2010 minimum. Then....
