I spoke to him just the other day and he mentioned that he saved at least 20kg just from using aftermarket struts.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just browsing the web whilst vaguely considering what I may like to race in the future and I see from the PCGB Motorsport regs that the Boxster weight for a Class 1 3.2 Boxster has to be 1260 kg, whilst the weight for a Class 2 2.5 can be 1160kg. I understand the reason for the differences but is it realistic to be able to get a Boxster down to 1160kg? I will never be able to afford to race in PCGB but I do race in CSCC and. 750mc races and was thinking that a 2.5 Boxster might be a cheapish option as it would fit in to the formers 1800-2500cc class and would be competitive in the latter's power to weight class B in their Roadsports series. Anyone got any experience of building a race , hill climb or track day Boxster and getting it down to,that sort of weight whilst being fitted with a full cage?

POST 2Original post

Not easy but very do-able.Remember it includes the weight of the driver as well.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I spoke to EMC Motorsport and they reckon that 1220 kg is achievable reasonably easily but 1160 requires £££

POST 4Original post

There is a chap on boxa.net who started out with a 2.5 and weighed all the bits he stripped off for a total of something like 115kgs. There are also some panels swapped for fibreglass, smaller battery etc. It's a weekend road car rather than a stripped out race car so I would presume there is more scope to lose weight. He's detailed most of the weights and photos there too. I spoke to him just the other day and he mentioned that he saved at least 20kg just from using aftermarket struts. It's now sporting a 3.4 engine too
