Make Your Car Faster For Free

Welcome to another episode of Mighty Car Mods, now if you're anything like I see you're probably really into cars And there's nothing better than making your car Go faster than when it originally left the factory especially if you can do it free so today We're going to show you a technique of making your car. Go heaps faster, and it won't cost you a cent Marty found this on the side of the road for 50 bucks We have A 1983 Mazda 323 with so much rust in it, but it'll never be on the roads ever again This is the worst. This is the worst car. You've ever brought home naughty by far This Mazda 3 to 3 is all kinds of bad and has been seriously neglected by its previous owner For no reason at all there are these little mirrors and reflectors stuck all over the car which I'm removing because they make me feel strange We need to make sure we've got a basis of comparison So we're going to do a naught to 60 test using the iphone as a timer now]the reason We're using the iphone is that's the way that most performance Enthusiasts measure the performance of the car before they post it on the internet, so everyone can argue about it so we're going to do one run with the car stock then we're going to get rid of some weight and do another run and See how much faster it goes Go! Tell me when come on and...

Yea 11.5 Pretty slow We're gonna remove as much weight from the car as we can. Starting with all the loose items, which we're going to place in this box. We're going to weigh everything We remove that way we know [exactly] how much weight we've lost and how this affects performance Just a couple of things we've found so far spray paint weighing it down Sell it Engine stop leak, that might explain why the car basically blew up on the highway on the way here, its not leaking um ah Okay, so to get rid of um excess weight. You can get rid of the spare tire and the jack [usually] they'll be under the back under here Actually while we're at it Excuse my language, sorry.

Now down here uh if the car does have a military spade Don't need that it can go in our box full of crap Well, it's wet back here get rid of all that Right good that's where extra ten kilowatts left All right, so this ah so I'm going to need one of those tools to get this out Okay, that's awesome So this here does not fit the spare tire you cannot remove the spare tire from this car It does not come out so when you pull over to the side of the road and this doesn't come out you just end up getting frustrated you just break break things That's an extra 20 kilowatts. We didn't think we'd get. Has a use after all Do not do this without safety goggles Carpet is heavier than you'd realize so make like a lotus and get rid of it Okay, so the spare wheel was 16 kilos what we get in the box Marty 24 kilos crap so that's a total of 40 kilos in the car, which isn't needed which is about as heavy as like a midget True Race weapons do not have back seats. It's as simple as that oh Oh Dude, you've gotta see this man That's so manky I'm going in What is that? Aah.

The back seats full of Hair. Is that human hair or something? Haha, I think its pubes Who owned this car seriously who owned this car? With the back seats gone. You've got a mini ute So it's time to start removing panels. We've got rid of as much weight as we can without doing that Now we get into some serious weight reduction 21 Kilos Glass adds a lot of weight, so it's time to get rid of it Now there's a myth that if we throw a spark plug hard enough at a window it'll explode Today we find out Actually breaking glass is harder than you'd think Except the glass is meant to be on the outside of the car now one of the best ways for a move away from your car is to take off a bonnet and put on a Carbon-Fiber hood But if you can't afford to do that the other best thing to do is paint it black because then people are going to think You've upgraded it with Carbon fiber anyway Spray the whole Bonnet black and then lay some gauze over the top and spray through that with some silver or chrome paint Seamless it looks incredible okay time to lose the door frames And all these added up to another four Kilos, but we still need to lose more Thirty Kilos How good does it look we're not quite sure about the structural integrity so marty's gonna do a quick safety check Okay, so we've removed over a hundred kilos.

Let's see. How fast it goes now So there it is an incredible performance upgrade and it's free and can you believe how good it looks. Marty let's hit the beach See you next time oh.
