When you pull stuff off the doors, do you mind weighing them? Im curious how much weigh each piece is. Like the metal skin, and glass. Any ideas on how to mount the door handle securely?

No problem, I just made supports out of stainless tubing for the door handles and ran a bolt through the tubing and used the factory attachment points on the handle

Are you running any resonators in your exhaust or just a muffler?

If you are aiming for TTB, you may have to put weight back in again!!!!
(I have to add 52 lbs. to make TTB, and that is after a dyno re-class!)
Just something to think about.

Can't believe your still running the idler pulley (the one everyone thinks is the water pump) Just remove it and get the shorter belt.

I understand. I'm still curious which class you are aiming for though.

I'm about to start ripping out my sound deadening material. However, I won't have the money to repaint the inside of the car. Could I just lay down some clear coat on any bare metal?

another nice thing is you can just put the ballast weights in the back to help with weight distribution/corner balance.

B , stock belt is a 465 , you need a 450 to do it. 1 bolt does need a spacer available for $3.85 from infinity or make your own from the removed part.

Search idler , there is a 3 to 5 page thread about this
