It's been a project for a few months now. I diffidently could take out another #40 or so, but I need to drive it to the track. This weight is with no driver, 1/8 tank gas and believe it or not, 335/35/17 on all 4 corners. No skinny tires here.
Some pictures.

Isn't this really an Un-build? Anyway the door glass and regulators will drop another 30 lbs. Might as well take them out since there is no A/C meaning windows open and nothing in there to steel. The stock wheel is very heavy. Ever thought of a smaller diameter removable one? The car is overassisted and a small wheel works great. HUD gone? More weight. Delete orphan wiring good for another 20lbs or more ask Geerookie. Since you are where you are you should come SCCA racing with us.

When I get to the autocross track, I pull out the side glass. I would like to get a new steering wheel, but I like my face to much. If I get into a accident on the street, I thought it would be better to have a air bag. HUD weighs 3lbs. I took it out. I wish I could do both road racing and autocross, but I only can spend money on one. It still cost $500 for a 12 lap day. The splitter you see in not installed.

Do you need those inner fender liners? Hmm, bigger tires?

mountainbiker2

I had to cut some of the fender liner. The big front tires work great.

Steve, what size are your wheels? Just wondering if you're able to rotate them. Would you choose 18"s if you were in the market for wheels? Do you think there's any benefit to having a narrower track than that or is the additional grip worth it?

17x11.5 17x12. Tires cost more for 18's, that's all I know about that. No need for big brakes either. I have always run 335 in the rear. I figured putting 335 on the front wouldn't change the way I go around cones.

What about a cage, are you going to do that?

Z06phile

Thanks! I've watched most of your vids and the courses you run are big, none of the really tight elements like our playgrounds have. I've ran at some other regions that have bigger layouts and I can see where the extra track wouldn't be as much of a penalty.
Anyway kickazz vette Looking forward to more vids and mod reviews from a guy who does more driving than typing.

No cage. It's only a autocross car.

Thanks. I have two autocross weekends in a row starting Aug.13th. Test out my new spherical bearing setup.
