Today was my first local autox. 75º weather. Took a little bit to get those v710s broke in but eventually stopped pushing and started gripping. Ran FP. Ran with out my passenger seat for a weight of 2306lbs. Problem we ran into was lifting the rear tire and then losing all momentum... 5 areas this was happening. Two were highspeed sweepers. I would say we lost a lot of time here. So the rear sway bar is going to come off (32mm). But I imagine....it weights at least 13lbs. So to help keep the cross weight and the front to rear weight as good as possible im going to remove my front lip (7lbs...I know... thick poly) and then remove my headlights take them apart and just use the front lens (14lbs savings) Going to either tent them red to match the car and give it some evil red eyes or do an black or red vinyl. So total weight loss should be around 37more lbs to bring my closer to 2270lbs with a better front to rear weight to get me closer to 50/50. Here were my results. Xbfp 22 shane and co driven by xbfp 311 5th raw. 3rd if you dont count the carts and got 6th pax .






The black s2000 is Tyler's (pastoli)

Don't forget to get larger (legal) numbers if you come out to a big event!

2425 lbs on mine / 1100kg, fuelled and caged without driver.

Looking to hit 1090 kg this week.

I'd like lighter sway bars as the Saner / Whiteline are ridiculously heavy. Ti exhaust would be nice too.



(Door bars now gone)

Ps I'm surprised at some of the weights quoted here.

Mine has no interior bar the dash, stripped HT, no lights, Lexan windows all round, no AC, no tensioner, the lightest wheels realistically available, Toda pulleys, single exhaust, carbon bonnet, doors stripped bare, gutted HT, lighter mirrors, no spare seat, mini race battery, no air pump or EGR, no brake shields, lighter flywheel, no door bars, no soundproofing, etc...

It does have a beefy cage, beefy bars and an extinguisher though
