Forrace use only, a windshield is available in Lexan. This is significantly lighter, and isn't legal for the street. The Lexan windshield can be trimmed for a closer fit in a way that the DOT-legal safety glass windshields cannot. And, of course, there is some bendability in the polycarbonate version.
The SL-C is available with two different types of side windows: a one-piece fixed window, or a similar two-piece window in which a small lower portion can be hinged or otherwise mounted to allow a hand to exit, as to pay tolls. The two-piece windows have optional hardware, but sealing is an issue, and the opening is small.
Here are some pictures of two-piece windows and some builder-supplied hardware. The tape on the windows helps make the two pieces clearer in these pics. Obviously, you peel that off before you actually install the windows on the car.
If you have the older, tinted (but non-hardcoat, scratch-resistant) windows, scratches can be polished out with 3M Perfectit, starting with the coarser grades and moving up to successively finer ones. The newer cars with hardcoat windows (all but the first dozen or so cars) cannot polish any imperfections out as this destroys the finish.
A frequently asked question is whether the windows can be made to roll up and down. A careful look at the shape will answer the question, as the windows are convex in two planes, making it impossible to move them up and down in a fixed channel.
The rear window is also Lexan. It is designed to fit in the race tail without modification, but will need to be trimmed for the street tail. A small amount is removed at the bottom of the window, nearest the back of the car.
Most builders use small screws that go into tapped holes in the fiberglass, or into installed rivnuts. This method has the advantage of making the windows easily removable, at the cost of visible fasteners. It's also fast and easy.
An alternative method is to use traditional windshield mounting techniques. This involves using products like Window Weld or similar urethane adhesives to glue the windows to the trimmed flanges. This install process is relatively permanent, but has the advantages of no visible fasteners, as well as increased security --it's harder to get the windows out since there are no fasteners.
The urethane method takes more time, and costs more as the cost of the adhesive and special paint for Lexan to create the edge that covers the adhesive is more expensive than the fastener method, but offers a more refined look.
Available since Summer 2015, carbon fiber vents are a tremendous solution for venting heat from the engine compartment. All production mid-engined cars have had vents in the rear window area to exhaust hot air, and now the SL-C has an easy-to-install, very functional and attractive solution for our cars.
The vents are made of carbon fiber, and are extremely light, as well as very well finished. No painting, clear-coating, or other prep work is required to use these vents. Fiberglass versions are also available; these will need to be finished using normal paint prep techniques.
Recently we reported on the alarming amount of data that a fresh install of Windows 11 sends to third parties, where it seems like Microsoft's latest OS is all about geo-tracking and telemetry and saying hello to Bing, Google, Steam, McAfee, and more before you do anything. That little deep dive, compared to Windows XP, was posted by The PC Security Channel on YouTube, and it didn't paint a flattering picture of the behind-the-scenes DNS traffic happening on Windows 11.
So, what if you want a version of Windows 11 without all the bloatware and telemetry and still be able to play PC Game Pass titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Gears of War? For that, there's Ghost Spectre Windows 11 - which covers Windows 11 version 22H2 SV2. Described as bloatware free with several custom optimizations for removing things like Windows Defender, OneDrive, the Action Centre, and all manner of telemetry - it's a stripped-back version of the OS that still supports PC gaming.
As per The PC Security Channel's latest video, it even manages to keep memory (RAM) usage down to an impressive 1GB. For comparison, my Windows 11 PC uses 20GB of memory simply because I've got a few browser windows open.
Ghost Spectre Windows 11 has its own custom setup with various options for how custom and light you want your Windows 11 install to be. The setup process we see looks a lot cleaner and simpler than the official process. Of course, we're talking about a third-party ISO available on the internet - so there's that. Still, the package is well thought out and powerful thanks to the Ghost Toolbox, which lets you choose what "bloatware" you want to enable.

Today in this video I am going to show you how to make your Windows 10 super smooth and super lite by changing some settings and removing windows 10 bloatware. After changing the settings and removing bloatware your windows 10 performance will be boosted and become super lite. Once the settings are applied you will see more free ram which was earlier consumed by Windows 10, and this will also give you more FPS while playing games.
If you use Microsoft Windows operating system then you know how laggy it becomes if you have old CPU or has low RAM installed in your system. For Windows 10 users seeking an enhanced computing experience, this article provides a comprehensive guide on how to make your system super smooth and super light. By tweaking settings and removing unnecessary bloatware, you can unlock the full potential of your Windows 10 operating system, resulting in improved performance and increased responsiveness.
One of the primary benefits of applying these changes is the noticeable boost in performance. Users can expect to see a significant increase in available RAM, as the video guide demonstrates how to reclaim resources that were previously consumed by the operating system. With more free RAM at your disposal, your computer can handle tasks more efficiently, particularly during resource-intensive activities like gaming.
Optimizing your Windows 10 experience is a proactive step towards getting the most out of your PC. This video guide equips users with the knowledge to transform their system into a powerhouse, shedding unnecessary baggage and fine-tuning settings for peak performance. By following these steps, users can enjoy a super smooth and super light Windows 10 experience, unlocking the true potential of their hardware. Embrace the power of optimization and elevate your computing experience to new heights.
