NewZed Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I see a weight on the left and a part description, under a year-of-car heading. What's the issue? Hard to complain about free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer Z Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Is there some reason your "table" doesn't list O.E.M. parts and weights next to the weight of the part(s) you replaced them with? This isn't a table, it's a series of lists that one must read through and struggle with to extract any meaningful information. I will do this and post a spreadsheet that actually show a "table" of comparisons so that one can actually use it at a glance. Well, to answer your question as honestly as I can: At the time that I started it I didn't realize just what it would turn into. If I knew how to program for spreadsheet, maybe I would have thought to start on a different platform. As to why I have not changed it or updated it: After a few weeks the post can not be changed. I can't add to it or alter it in any way. I thought about changing it so that I can have it show a table that's hosted on another server. I even wrote the HTML code and posted it to the internet. I asked a moderater to change it for me. I tested my code in a temp posting here and made it work, set him the code. He said he chabged it for me I can't see any change. So, this became an abandoned topic on my part. You're welcome to use what I posted in any way you like. Just try to avoid the pitfalls I fell into.

zohanisback Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I anyone interested in me making a Google doc we can all access? You can organize it by weight or name so you can view the items easier and select which ones are priority. 35# for a seat?!!? Good thing those were the first to go!

Gollum Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Nice! I'd say that should get cross posted here, but it got moved to the FAQ section, which can't be posted in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) What thickness polycarbonate? I think most of the sanctioning bodies require 1/4" for front, but you can use whatever you like on sides and rear (most use 1/8).

clarkspeed Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I was going to resurrect this thread soon also. Once I pull the chassis off the roterssere I plan to measure every component I install. I have a set of digital corner weight scales that seem pretty accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AydinZ71 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 @JMortensen yessir. 1/4” front (rules call out 6mm). 1/8”/3mm everywhere else. i have more weights. Just need to dig up old photos of my scale with stuff on it. clark, looking forward to your weights as well. This stuff helps determine where the time and money should be spent.
