It still has both airbags (for now). The dashboard hasn’t been taken out (yet). I haven’t started drilling holes (yet) into non structural body panels like the trunk floor to further reduce weight.
Plus I did put the door panels back on because they don’t save too much weight, and without them, my legs were getting cut up by the sharp metal edges when I went around corners, lol…
I think it’s down to 2250 lbs. I need to shave off another 120 lbs after I put in a in a full cage and a carbon fiber hardtop.
Might end up removing the power steering and swapping for a manual rack. Don’t really need it. Less things to break.
I likey fun little tinker car. It’s a piece of shit, but I never need to worry about where I park and what I hit and if someone hits me (provided I don’t die), it’s instant insurance money in the pocket.[/quote]
Bicycle nuts obsess over grams on the bike, but often carry 30 extra pounds around their gut. Its the total weight that matters not just the bicycle weight.
At this point, for this car, driver weight might matter. Maybe wear lightweight shoes and lose 10 lbs. Be sure to peepee prior to race . No underwear. Remove watch.
