I wouldn't really recommend them for anything at all
but I thought JRP in Toronto had a few different models in the warehouse?
Maybe call and ask.

step 1: hammer and chisel and elbow grease
step 2: grinnding wheel and elbow grease
step 3: rattle can paint job to cover bare metal.
My guess is 25 pounds of crap. But looks better, and is lighter once it's gone.

Some of it is better than others. I think I did my entire passenger side in like 1hour, plus 1hour with the wire wheel.
The rear was about the same. Came off in big chunks except for the odd places like the wheel wells.
The drivers side was a nightmare. Every inch it fought me. Easily 10hours there.
I found if you smack it with a hammer, the vibrations sometimes loosened it up and came off well. Anywhere there was seam sealer though, no go. That **** is like glue on glue on glue.
But looks so much better without. If you remove the carpet, its a must do.

visible sound deadening tar obliterated.
I know some is hiding behind the dash, but will get that another year.
Next doors, get speakers out, and matting.
Then hopefully the rest of my parts come in and I can get down to installing them.
Then paint inside.
Then learn whole new car.
Then ???
Then Profit.

I might be ending up in the Super Street @ CSCS if I do sell my 350z parts !!
Im thinking of a secret weapon for that class !

You should strip it!!
But your power to weight ratio is already way out of my league.
I need a V8. Or a Formula Mazda.

but with the new Sparco seat which I estiimate a total of 30 lbs seat/bracket/floor mount
both leather seat w/ airbag & heater (47lbs each / 94 lbs total) minus 30 = 64lbs weight saving..
that would bring the car down to about 3271 . meh...
My new possible not soo much secret weapon might add 15whp (wishing)
My inspiration is what SGM did ! but twice (guessing game lol )

Run on empty
i'm interested in seeing what my car is when I pull it up on the scale.

our 370z is very bad for Fuel starvation
a few corner at Cayuga would cause some problem...
I need to plan something on it ,,, but there is soo much stuff to be done ...

Hmm I've noticed the car feels a lot better the lower the fuel gets in my 350Z.
When the fuel light comes on I put the pedal to the floor lol.

I've never had an issue on the 350 either, however a lot of guys on slicks say they do. I find my car reads all over the place when Im on track. Like the light will come on when there is nearly 1/2 a tank left, just because the fuel is moving around so much.
I have heard horror stories of the 370 fuel starvation though. I say throw in a surge tank with an extra pump that ties back into the original lines just to keep pressure.
