Car went on a mini diet :)

well both front and rear bumper supports are out. i haven't put the rear front fascia back on yet but i want to see if i can have a friend make something for me to have some sort of support for the fascia. i even went ahead and drained the washer bottle, another 5#'s :)

also put a lighter battery in, i saved 9#'s with the new dry cell battery by Scosche. they had an even lighter one but i wasn't too sure if it would be sufficient.

i would love to get a racing seat as well, that would save an additional 20#'s, and with the passenger seat out at m7 i would have knocked out approx. 100#'s. my race weight would at least then be in the 3500's.

i need all the help i can get to run with those quick ls1 cars :think:

Here we go,the swiss cheese Camaro ;) like those old Catalinas;)
J/K Taner,mine needs a mega diet:D me as well:D

I weighed it last Friday 13th at GB it weighed 3495 with a 1/3 tank of gas 3760 with me in it :D do the math:p

i won't tell you what the car weighs with me out of it. it is actually not bad considering the cage, 9" rear, and other miscellaneous extras. :p

iam gonna pull the impact bars next out of the doors.

Welp here's what I've done since I tore my piece down a year ago.
Removed rear seats
Removed some interior metal and insulation
Removed most of my bumper supports and replaced with some fiberglass
PA Racing Chrome Moly Tubular K-member
PA Racing Chrome Moly Tubular A-arms


Here's what I plan on doing before the car is back on the street again:
Remove the rest of my bumper support and make light fiberglass pieces
Fiberglass hood
Fiberglass front fenders (mabye!)
Remove door cross bars and other heavy junk


My car is a hard top and only weighed a little over 3200 before I started tearing it apart :eek:

BTW if anyone has any other ideas on how I can make my car lighter ket me know!

Joe

my car did weigh that at one time, i can't remember that far back, lmao!!!! i hope by the time i am done i can have the car weighing about 3250ish.

we shall see.....

now all i need is a pcm to run this puppy :D
