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 !

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....
