    Not much info, but stumbled on this. The pics don't show much at all, but I doubt it's actually a TT other than it's outward appearance. Interesting, nonetheless.

    Clicky Pow

    N/A, RWD, double front A arms, live rear axle. Odd creation.

    I have seen a couple of other MK I TTs on the tracks over here in Germany. They race as touring cars mostly.

    1880lbs - I'd love to have that with my power

    As it were, I was pretty happy to see my car well under 3000lbs My plan is to keep the TT when I move onto the next car, gut it and cage it, and make it a track whore...I wonder how light I could get it without sinking a ton of money into it!

    I don't know if impress with the motor's output, less than 300 HP. We could do that with a tune and bolt-ons .

    The car seriously light and could get out of its own way with that kind of power but what would you do with it?

    I doubt we can get a street legal TT to that weight..... must be thin aluminum body kit and barely any stock framework (all tubular cage) to get that kind of weight. I would LOVE to drive it though

    What is that motor based off of? It's not the 20V. Either way, that is not bad power for N/A at all.

    Agree, not bad for NA power but this could not be usable unless you have the kind of weight they have on that car. They also must have different GT rules there because SCCA GT cars here usually pack some serious punch.

    Brakes/rotors, 17lb wheels, cat-less/resonator-less exhaust (I weighed everything, and this actually drops a lot of weight), spare tire/tools, rear bumper ballast, one rear seat out at the time, about 50lbs of plastic crap and emissions devices , 17lb battery, aluminum charge air pipes, etc., etc. I've added a bit back in, with stuff like a larger turbo and intake manifold, but that's what it weighs with all fluids and an empty gas tank; with a full tank it would be around what your car is at.

    With both rear seats out, some lighter front seats, and an AC delete there should be another 100lbs that can be saved. I'm not sure how daily driving a manual steering rack is, but I've thought about that as well. I'd really like to get a lot more off the front end!

    Some pretty big omissions from your list:

    - lighter wheels and tires (I saved over 50lbs there) - the added huge benefit of reducing rotating mass
    - Ballast under rear bumper (if you have a 225 TT) - it's 35-40lbs.
    - Lightweight calipers and two-piece rotors (more rotating mass here, but not very far out from the axis of rotation)

    I did Porsche calipers I really don't know if that helped
    Removed passenger air bag today. I don't know why such a small car weighs so much its crazy
    Has any one got the weight down to 2500 ???

    Varies by model, transmission, drivetrain, wheels, options, fluid levels, etc. Only way to know for sure is to weigh it.

    Planing on using the a/c??? If not take out the a/c box that has the evaporator and heater core in it. Thats probably 50 lbs in it self. Also remove the complete a/c system from compressor to condensor and all the lines.

    Yes, also you can remove the blower motor and everything else connected to the a/c system.
