yeah, because it's finished in that video....

[MisterCMK]

That camera guy sucks nuts

[KA-T_240]

^yup.

Not a big fan of the way some of the piping is ran.

:icon_scratch: That transmission costs more $$ then Zack has into his whole car.

[weshole]

Haha!!!

[Grr]

Dont worry, im sure zac will be cutting into the floor, maybe even take the fenders and doors off to save weight. No doubt removing the exxsentials like a 1.5lb headlight motor is just not enough, lets start taking sheetmetal off it too.... LOL

There is a Air to Water/Ice exchanger inside, that is why it is ran so

That is the guy who ran a gt42 and then switched to a S475 and was much happier.....

Wes you know I only drive slow things so this is a no go

I had my car on the scale a couple days ago and it was 2520lbs with the new hood and everything.....

But i was thinking maybe of taking the plastic shrouding on the seat buckles and the plastic shrouding of the steering colum off so that i could possibly get her down acouple more ounces......... Just for Gary

I dont even think that is an exageration......

IIRC it is a Jerico or Lenco.... Dogboxes are F'ing expensive....... Autos FTW

[KA-T_240]

zac did you take the sound deadening off the floor?

nope....

Is there much to be lost in weight from it?? That shit looked like it was on for good too

[KA-T_240]

IIRC on the 240s its over 50 pounds. I took a small chunk out where my battery is and it came out pretty easy. dry ice also helps cause it makes it brittle.

What did you add to your car? I swear it was a lot lighter when we went and put our cars on the scale

[Joel]

that or a grinder w/ a old used up sanding pad works well. just remember to wear a mask

[KA-T_240]

Taking a sanding/grinder pad to this stuff would be a mess and take DAYS. I am reffering to the had plastic/rubber stuff

[kylush]

How much more annoying road noise do you get doing that?

[bubba]

^ who cares about road noise when you get to that point....

What he said. Gutting and removing interior is pointless unless you have a track car. In your DD its worth the extra like 100lbs

[zbrown]

50lbs would be worth it.......

I have the steel hood back on with the new steel turbo ducting/intake mostly done (no more gay plastic ricer scoop), and some stuff int he car with a 1/2 tank of fuel when i weighed...... it was 2490 this spring with no hood

I still have interior too, no heat though cuz the coils and stuff are under there now

[bubba]

If you're worried about weight why do u have the steel hood on?? Get the aluminum one...
