they may not be Recaro's but they serve a purpose. picked up 2 of those injection moulded seats from the local speed shop today
they are light as sin! that will put me about 200 #'s lighter than last year! yee haaw!

 

Those damn things are HELL on your back. Even for just a day at the track.

Very light though.

 

Now just cut out that beer for a month and you could be 300 #'s lighter.

 

You'll be amaized at how much of a diference loosing all that way will make in the car. If you've taken alot off the front, you'll be spending some time tuning the suspension to keep the nose down. Good luck this year.

 

You guys make us slow car owners look bad enough allready. you should have to add 300LBs so when you pass us we at least have time to read your rear plates.

 

300#'s lighter...WHAT!!!

that isn't possible, what about all of the those people that depend on me to deliver their beer for them!

most of the weight was off of the front, so it should be interesting.

slow down...lol! gotta love speed to much!

 

Taner did you pick up your seats from Chucks big pre season sale LOL

BTW: Save some cash for the rotors I have, 150 bones and their yours.

 

yes the tires are also on order!

oh boy, i just bought the tires, seats, and still need to pay for the rubber that'll be in next week, oh boy! too much too soon! and racing begins in 16 days! woo hoo! and i am gettin' 2 N2O bottles tomorrow, one fo' me and one fo' roman

 

what have you taken out?
i have a fiberglass hood, carbeau seats, !air/egr/car/winsheild washer fluid spare, jack, and rear seats. I also have wheels that are 25lbs lighter (total)
i lost 150lbs being generious

 

frt and rr bumper sppts, door crash bars, added chromoly k frame, also upper and lower ctrl arms, hals, abs, smaller battery, now seats only for racing (i mean they aren't the prettiest things, but they are functional). maybe a couple of other things i forgot.

it all adds up, only other thing left is pass. side air bag and hvac crap, that will be good for probably another 50 #'s. with that done i may be in the 3300 race weight range.

 

If every little ounce of weight counts I guess my 200 + lbs of stereo equipment in the car is a real crutch for me

 

i wouldn't call it a crutch but rather a realy big sandbag in the back, lmao!!!!

if i pulled all of the stereo out of my 80 camaro, and pulled the Recaro buckets I bet the car would pick up 3 tenths, lmao!!!! throw a real stall into it and 12's would be quite possible!
