I actually sent him a pm a couple of weeks ago about this and he said he still offers everything. He didn't tell me if parts are in stock or what the wait would be but I'm sure if you send him a pm he'll get back to you in a couple of days.

If you are trying to get a hold of Robi, email works best. Sometimes he doesn't sign on here for a while. He usually responds to emails fairly quickly.

If you don't have a 3 lb (or sub-3 lb) Shorai or Ballistic lithium iron superlightweight battery, that's the best under $200 weight loss off the front of the car you can do.

How well does the Ballistic Lithium battery hold the charge compared to a full size car battery? I may get one, but do not want to sacrifice a longer lasting battery.

I bought a Shorai 4lb battery after talking with EvoDan about it for a while...that battery with my BR battery tray should be around 5.5lbs. Dan was telling me he had his Shorai battery sitting in his garage on a shelf for like 9 months with no charger hooked up, he threw a volt meter on it & it still showed 13 volts, lol...

Looking for some opinions from you guys. My car is garage kept and only driven on dry sunny days. I never use my ac even when it's 104 in Texas, and I've always pondered removing it. It will clean up the engine bay, but also remove a little weight (30lbs?) But is that even worth the trouble and cost of a new accessory belt? I suppose that's a question only I can answer, but just looking for input.

I don't have any substantial weight reduction yet, but the car weighs 3,120 with 3/4 tank of gas.

I roll windows down 100% of the time, I use it occasionally because it's there, but I don't think I would die without it. I just want to be faster without making more power at the moment

I took mine out at the beginning of summer, haven't missed it one bit. I don't daily drive it but do drive it on the street regularly. I have always driven with the windows down as well .

If I go through with the sound deadening removal and firewall carpet I can get 100lbs out including a/c. All the little stuff adds up. I pulled the front wipers and motors last night mainly just to clean up the look buy also ~10lbs is nice too
