Mmmmm those cages look so good, especially in that RHD Z

 

car weighed in at 2480 with drivers seat and 10 gallons of fuel
stock 18in wheels

missing items from weigh in before cage:

front and rear bumper
lexan
some wiring
battery, going with 6lb braille


spent today removing even more items and weight

 

WOW thats light!!

 

random number, but trying to get to 2600lbs or less before cage

 

Nice work op and a Z that light must feel like a different animal all together!

 

I sure hope so, car is stripped down to chassis right now, this is going to be a long project, due to time and money, shooting for late this year or track season next year. We are turning a daily driver into a 100% track car, without any expense, safety feature, or options spared. First time rewiring a whole car, so this will be a learning experience.

 

Great progress. Did you ever get the Z1 idler pulley delete? If so did you also do the lightweight crank pulley? Theres so many different reviews idk if its worth it or not

 

Yes, did the Z1 puller delete, great price and shipped fast as always, as for the crank pulley, its a light weight one, cant remember the name. The light weight pulley has been on for 80,000 miles with no problems,

 

How are you attaching the front bumper, with the clips or stock bolts and such?

 

Clips for easy removal

 

Car looks very similar to mine right now. I just got mine 1 month ago, never even drove it on the street, starting stripping it the day i got it. I aim to be done in 2-3 months max. Last night was a mess when i tried removing my rear window to put my new lexan one and and it shattered and went everywhere!

 

I think it might be an art removing glass, cause I suck at it too

 

I'll keep this in mind when I do mine

What tires?

 

Used up set of kumho v710, just for transportation

 

Looking good..

 

That car is anorexic! Good job. Subscribed!

 

You cut the frame that was around where the battery and brake fluid covers were?

How tricky was that?

 

Not too bad. First cage shop was a bust, got extra time, so going to pull motor and transmission. Got motor mounts, finish cleaning engine bay metal, and wrapping headers. Got fuel tank and rear end out today. Rear end and diff bushings need installed and cutting fuel tank in half, will only be on passenger side.
