At least 70lbs lost. Sound increase is minimal. I will weigh it at a weigh station soon. I didn't strip the front...yet.

Just weighed it, a little more than 70lbs...170lbs loss!

I may buy my friend's Pss9s, but I'm trying to save up for nicer coils.

Damn, all that, 170lbs...you positive? What's next, CF trunk and hood? Plexiglass windows?

You're doing a custom roll cage?

What did your family say when they saw all that?

It was 180lbs, I took off 10lbs as a safety margin of error. Over the course of the next 20 years...OZ racing wheels 18s, JRZ suspension, rrt rollbar, cf hood, fiberglass trunklid, sparco evo or corsas, maybe intake, exhaust, headers after that. I was also thinking about replacing the rear window with lexan.

I only managed to drop about 110lbs.
It was a little less trouble as all I needed to do was say, "Get out biaaach!" ...and that was that!



This was the only picture I could find of a woman exiting a car. Damn she's fine! Love me some Christina!

If its not a dedicated track car, seems kinda pointless to rip out all the stuff for a DD that does AC every so often
