    took out the spare and jack yesterday, and down to 1/4 tank of fuel (about 4 gallons) and it was 2320lbs, exactly 100lbs lighter already.
    1300 front, 1020 rear--56%/44%
    and 2500lbs with me in it
    1380 front, 1120 rear--55%/45%

    Now need to remove the smog stuff and lose 20lbs off the nose, and relocate the battery (and smaller one) and drop another 15lbs and put it right on the rear axle. That will bring it to the 2275 area and close to 50-50

                  Are you going to turbo it?
                  Although, NA, you can make over 275 with the 12a, Not sure how fun it is to drive after that. They sound sick as all hell with a bridgeporting and a big 650 carb, though. Probably not nice for mileage...

                  I'm seriously considering doing an autox/track car one day with a rotary drivetrain. Would be about the same weight I'd hope... You're pretty darn light already at 1kg even about.

                                thanks for delivering the 12a/trans, man! Damn, it's shiny.

                                this thread needs more pictures, though. i'm just saying.

                                      so the big questions I get from this picture:

                                      Is that 2.5" or 3"? - and - stainless matte finish or Ultralite?

                                      I traded my judge in at maple creek for a rifle before ever taking it out for fun..

                                      the piping is cool too.
