MCS Lightweight Speccing thread - Only prospective owners allowed

Go on then

[AidenL]

Better do some cutting and pasting from the S Speccin' thread !

[AidenL]

OK, heres what I want............

220 bhp +, as much as can be extracted from the current kit.
Carbonfibre dash, dial rings, door rings, downtubes and steering wheel centres, smaller diameter steering wheel.
Lightweight 17" wheels, bigger brembo brakes.........
Aircon
Big movable spoiler, front and rear as suggested by Washy
Bigger intercooler scoop - better stick some mesh in in case it sucks in small animals.........
Exclusive body kit and colours..........

That'll do for now............

[Goonery]

A set of 17" 3 part Superlights to match the body would be good

Brake balance control on the dash

Digital readouts for all vital signs

[Pobsey]

a good covering of suede on the steering wheel and other interior bits eg dash top
a cf dash with cf down tubes
some lightweight figure hugging seats

[AidenL]

Yep, definitely more gauges, in a pod somewhere you can see them easily, not down in the centre console like now.........

Engine - what bhp can we expect?

Carbon Fibre...how extensive are we talking?

Seats - will they be along the line of the Sparcos?

Brakes - will they be uprated?

Colour - will it come in any special colours?

Duplicate the gizmo from the 5 series - its already in the parts bin.............

[Pobsey]

it needs to have a distinctive colour - brilliant white with contrasting stripes along the door bottoms, slightly more menacing front bumper, with a redesigned rear aero kit bumper to do away with the shelf like lip,

Sorry I thought this was a questions and answers thread.

If this our wish list you can add: what I said plus 250bhp.

In my view anything more than 250bhp on Front Wheel Drive car (MINI sized) becomes a pain to handle if you drive it vigourously

Yeah I agree. My car sometimes has enough trouble getting 200bhp on the ground.

250bhp would be ideal though.

If its light enough you would'nt need 250bhb realistically, 210 would be adequate, 220 for a real howler
