Lightening up for the ring! - Toyota Celica, 1.9 L, 2001

Just kidding, the machine already weighs 1080kg.
In fact, I have long been bothered by such a problem as doors. They were covered with 2.5 layers of STP. And the problem was that they were very heavy. And they began to pull the metal around the stopper.
+ When the doors were open, the stopper did not hold them and they slammed shut.
Accordingly, it was necessary to do something.
1. I went to the store and bought 1 sq. M. spline 8mm meter. Then I came home and took off the door cards, this is what we see:

2. Remove STP - do not glue! Mlyn how hard it is! It's good that we have 3-5 degrees Celsius right now, STP lags behind better. All the scraping work took about an hour. At the same time, I forgot my leather work gloves in the garage and worked in cloth gloves that didn’t protect. And the foil PPC. what a sharp one, in short, I cut all my hands. But this is what I got.

3. It took 10 minutes to glue the splan. And we have the following result:

The bottom line. All the scrubbed guano weighs just over 2kg. The weight of the sheet (enough for 2 doors) of the splen is 500 grams. Corresponding from two doors 4.5-5 kg ​​weight saving. The difference is a little noticeable - the doors have become a little lighter and now the stopper holds them and they do not slam.

The length of the doors is different. On the selick, it is much longer than the door, this affects the hinges

He wrote about the Lacetti. There, the drawing of arches is not designed for 18-19 ", well, except perhaps with an overhang of 50 or more ...

And about Celica: 19x8 ET 35 + roll out the arches a little + Tein SS - that's it!

On a selica, and so 18 get up without problems, and 19 do not cling to the drain not planted. But the plastic doors, carbon hood, trunk, fenders, etc. - significantly lighten the car!))))

Complete rubbish ... I'm afraid to switch to 17, although it's +10 and my ContiWinterContact is already floating ... The Mayor's Office promises to fix everything by summer ... But over the last month, no changes are visible ...

I didn't notice about lachcheti, sorry.
I agree if the roads allow)))
By the way, how are you doing there with the roads?))))

Well, the turbojet engine does not have the lightest wheels. Even TRD Sports T3 17 "weighs 9kg wheels - that's really a lot ...
The lightest 17" forged wheels weigh less than 7kg ...

You can read my Temka about the choice of wheels ...

I no longer believe in good roads in Russia ((((
16 is said to be optimal for selik, if you can have 17).

Well, I will say this, the speakers play for their own money 100%, but not more. For example, even the head can be larger.

STP is just not noise at all, but viro isolation, it dampens vibrations on the body, but the splen just performs the function of noise isolation
