Buddy of mine that works as a tech at VW calls me up in absolute joy for some more weight reduction solutions since he has a pretty badass mk4 gti hes building for the track himself. New mk6 Jetta S base antenna deletes, bolts right up and gets rid of my useless sharkfin lol. Thought you guys would like to see for shits and giggles since its an unusual mod.

Sick man new ways to go faster

#3

I like…

That should shave 0.000001 of a second lol, Whens the sunroof delete happening

#4

i know lol every bit counts

when i can find someone who can make one or find someone who is willing to sell is no longer available fiber images delete, id do it. the b5 one fits too, i just need to find someone willing to sell his

#5

Lose the door sill pieces. Good 4lbs tied up between the four. Plus they sell for good loot on ebay

#6

cool! I’m always amazed by how ppl can remove such pieces when screws/bolts are out of sight! :smiley:

#7

this mod makes me sad. the b6 was known in the day for its shark fin damn you D

#8

i fucking hate the sharkfin and the 1.5 lbs it used to weigh my car down! lol

#9

Love the attention to detail!

#10

Next step is get rd of some glass. Lexan rear side and rear window would be badass. That could be a good 50lbs

#11

next mod is finishing my exhaust. ive got pretty decent at welding which will save me a ton of cash than sending it out to someone else. then speed holes for the rear bumper to get rid of some drag especially with the rear bumper support removed. Remove window regulators in the back windows and find a sunroof solution which now seems impossible.

You could always try to make your own CF sunroof delete.

#13

Lol h will need a lot of switch plate kits to make a sunroof. How about contacting Matt@SlowCarbon?

#14

The kit covers 10"x23", 3 or 4 of those would possibly cover it. Lol

I can’t really take myself seriously here, that’d take like way too much extra effort haha.

This site sells stuff in sheets… They have a pretty big list of customers who use their stuff, and they don’t specifically do car stuff, but could probably do something with a sheet.

lqmeh, great looking out. i wish they made that kit in a bigger size because id definitely go for it. im going to see if Matt @ Ocarbon is willing to take the job on. Would also love a set of carbon fiber fenders as well. oh im drooling!

#16

why not just some thin aluminum sheet over a wood frame or something for the roof? The carbon fiber isnt going to be much lighter really and the cost is absurd. You just need something to cover your hole up, doesnt need to be structural.

yea but i still want it to look decent too. if the rood was flat like my old vw’s id just throw a sheet of lexan and call it a day. there is a curve to it and dont want to make it look like complete dinkle ya know?

#18

I’ve got an idea for something even lighter, give saran wrap a shot… LOK

#19

What about that expanding foam in a can? That might work pretty well.

#20

Rag top?
