I will get you the summit racing part number. I called QA-1 tech for my setup and ordered through summit. It's all at my office. To save you other guys time and money. When I get my new brakes and air ducting I'm going to spend some track days sorting them out. Then i will know what needs to be ordered by you other guys.

 

PANIC - Your Vette is very light at sub 3000 pounds. I went to great lengths to lighten mine. Including cutting the whole body off at the fire wall. The light weight Daytona front end saved me 150 pounds I have a 79 with the biggest frame rails to correct the front side to side front end flex and or cracking the was so prevolent of earlier C-3s.

Early C-3's cracked so bad that reinforcing and cross A-Arm bars are a must. I added weight with a heavy wall .134 1 and 3/4 seamless mild steel roll cage My Sparco Fiber racing seat is only 14 pounds.

Safety is a big thing. My big blow proof bell housing must weight 40 pounds. At the last race with steel wheels and big slicks with me in it was 3134 with 14 gallons of a mix of 110 racing leaded and 7 gallons of 91 super unleaded that I drove to the track with.

I did the SCCA scale thing of only the front and then only the rear also and I had a nearly perfect 50 50 % weight ratio front to rear

For SCCA rules in Time Trials road racing class I was near the edge of CI and weight. Most of the field was late model Mustangs Even with their super chargers and 500+ hp they could @2850 pounds and race in the TT class because they only have 302 5.0 liter or 4.6 liter.


My real opinion is to get roll bars and all the safety stuff - You have son even filming you Vettes just blow apart in a wreck. I know because I was riding in a Vette once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

That won't happen anymore, i've only got the driver's seat now...

But, yes, you're right, my next step is to add some weight with the full safety stuff, only that i have to study it well, i do not find a proper guy to fab it as it needs and without making a mess out of my vette...i wanted to order a rollcage in USA but the freight cost to EU means a real fortune...

 

[QUOTE=panic;1562396109]If you ever wreck the front of your car. Like me You can take a saw and cut the front body off and replace it with a 1981 twin turbo replica front end. They are made out of thinner fiber glass. between the front end and hood it takes 150 pounds off the front end. Fixed front headlights save more weight

 

[QUOTE=gkull;1562396833]I did wipe the whole front end in a crash about 2 years ago but then i had a full custom alu replacement of the front end steel tubing, a beautiful and superlightweight job got ruined in a sec... I've replaced the front end with an aftermarket ecklers FB...i'm interested in that thinner front end anyway, do you have a web address where to have a look? thanks.

fixed lights was one of the first lightening jobs i did to my vette, when i realized that the pop ups lughts were the heavier single piece per volume of the whole car, apart the front and rear steel defenses..!!

 

[QUOTE=panic;1562398840]What is the weight of the original lights. compared to the fixed ones??

 

[QUOTE=kayosnes;1562400761]unfortunately i didnt put them on the scale but from what i remember they have the biggest content of heavy steel in the front end, apart the defenses. i'd say they were in the region of 30 lbs both lights plus the steel frames and ancillaries. The pop up sistem is tricky and peculiar but for this kind of useless weight i prefer the more simply fixed lights...
