From the grave
After MANY more weight reductions, I ended up with the following weight.
2293 lbs with only a couple gallons of fuel. The final split L-R was 52.7% left with me in it. F-R was 39.9% front.
This car at 260 rwhp is going to FLY.
I have a FULL CAGE in the car that is actually heavier than it needs to be, but the rest is gutted. I'm going to start cutting on the back of the car soon to get the F/R weight more balanced.
Mods are as follows:
Gen 3 3sgte swap. (w/ tranny)
Wiseco .020 forged pistons
ARP headstuds
ACT XACT Flywheel
TRD clutch
Hardened CV joints
Apexi Power FC w/ handheld
AEM UEGO gauge
Megan Racing SMIC w/ Berk fan and shroud
Walbro FP
Tein SS coilovers w/ tops
Full bushing replacement
91 brakes w/ Porterfield R4E pads
GUTTED CAR
fiberglass T-tops
Fiberglass engine lid
aero ducting through hood
Full roll caged w/ dual horizontal bars
Gutted wiring (only what I need to run - SAVED 30 #!)
ST sway bars w/ mounts in front.
Megan Downpipe 3"
16 x 8 RX-7 wheels on back w/ 245 hoosiers
16 x 7.5" mustang wheels up front on 225 hoosiers
Weight still left to be removed:
Rear trunk lid -> fiberglass or carbon
Remove rear wing - replace with Carbon Racing wing
cut random steel out of back of car (way too much steel back there for me).
Granted my car is not built to any rules other than SCCA safety (not for any specific class), so it's probably lighter than a general racecar. I would go NASA anyway.
