Subframe bushings

 

You should throw a big ol' throttle body and that motor.

 

Funny you should mention that........

 

more metal removal, new soild motor mounts, lowered 15mm, and wrapping headers, try to control some heat

 

Looks Good MW. If I ever work less and had time to track I would do exactly what your doing. However 65hrs a week wife kid and another on the way lol...........maybe later

 

For your super gutted trunk lid are you running hatch fasteners on the outside or does the stock hook/release still intact?

 

release is gone it will need hatch fasteners it is for sale though because I just purchased a carbon fiber hatch with polycarbonate Speedglas already mounted total weight 23 pounds

 

Can I drive it when it's all done?

Coming along well sir. Very dedicated to the weight reduction.

 

Might be too much of a car for you, I have seen your lap times at Mid-Ohio and Road Atlanta

 

Just to let you know, I blame you for me getting over zealous and stripping the whole section behind the rear seats. All I was going to do was take out the blown speakers

Keep up the good work

 

You're right! It would be too much for sure.

 

I blame Fixxxercask

 

TBH I also blame Fixxxercask. I read that sound deadening removal thread and was like

 

I blame mw9 for mine. Great work! You are way ahead of me.

 

Thanks guys, but both of you are taking yours to the next level and far beyond mine. I love it. I could only imagine how my car would feel at 2600lbs. Are you shooting for 2600 with cage before driver? I know after a session when they put me on the scales I am 3200lbs with driver, (I'm about 165lbs) 100lbs of ballast and about 3/4 tank. I think people underestimate how much fuel weighs. I recall my car being 2790lbs without driver almost no fuel and before cage.

 

Fixxxercask, do you run ballast for class reasons or Balance?

 

Class

 

I can't be less than 3190lbs in my class so I have to add it to make weight.

 

We're you able to get to anymore sheetmetal out with the engine out? I don't want to pull my engine but weight loss is the priority.

 

We were able to get a good deal out, with motor in. Pulled the engine just to clean it up and replace motor mounts. stock mounts pretty heavy,
