> [@BikerFry](#): > > Hm. Maybe I just have no vision but that sure seems like a lot of work for the end result. Going to paint the CF? Approximate weight reduction? Any other benefit (aside from bling/being able to say you rolled your own CF roof) that I’m ignorant to? To be honest, i’m doing it because i have run out of things to do and because i can. Not going to paint it, will leave it exposed. A lot of work? no… it’s rather simple if you break it down far enough. Weight reduction will be 12lbs. I was debating for a long time whether or not to delete the sunroof, because that would reduce about 48lbs. Which is a significant ammount of weight up high. However, the realization of this whole thing is that i will drive casually a lot more than i’ll actually be racing this car around a track…so i deemed the sunroof as a “valuable” and will keep it. I am not competative enough to see the gains of this reduction on the track. I’ve simply run low on things to do/fabricate and thought this would be a fun project. > [@BikerFry](#): > > Naw he fashions up a carbon fiber venturi, connects it to his custom CF dipstick tube, farts real hard, and the bernoulli effect driven by his ass gas sucks the oil out. :tup: you’re the only person that can find a way to use the words “fart” and “bernoulli” in the same sentence --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/unrelated-carbon-fiber-pole-project-phase-2-complete/22396)._
