SQ5 Weight Reduction List

[Eat.Sleep.Race]

Not sure if anyone has spent time to weigh anything removed from B8 SQ5 or not yet, but lets get a list going for things to remove for weight for track racing:

Front Pass. seat
Rear Upper
Rear lower
Trunk subwoofer
Trunk cover/side panels
Door panels/Speakers

Anything else go beyond this?

Looking to shed another 100lb or so..

Remove exhaust? Where after test pipes?
Sunroof delete- anyone care to do this?
Race seat driver seat- Same bracket as other Audi's?
Brakes- anything lighter besides drilled/slotted rotors? Small brake kit??
Wheels/Tires of course-

The girodisc 2 piece front from voshmods is 5 lbs lighter each in the front and 1 lb in the back, but I don't think it'll fit stock. Maybe you could get a custom one done?

You could go pick up some a4 or q5 2.0t brakes that are smaller in general and rub them, it's not a road coarse so just need them to slow you down.

EDIT: Washer Tank up front too, or at least empty it. And if you want to go nuts but save 60 or so lbs, do a lightweight lithium battery, but $$$$.

I've always wondered if there would be a market for an insulated carbon fiber insert to permanently replace the sunroof.

The post above reminds me, CF hood could save a bunch too.

May as well throw some vents in that CF hood to cool off the SC. Although when we are sitting in the lanes the vents may decrease the effectiveness of the fans running at full blast on the heat exchanger.

Correct- I weighed the car 3/4 times as stuff was taken out etc..

Also- I think the final few things to save big # would be:

Small brakes
Small wheels/tires.
CF roof panel for sunroof
Driver seat race seat
Full straight exhaust no muffler/ reosnators
