I see you really don't pay attention to me when we have heart to heart weight reduction conversations.......cool........

 

HAHAHAHAH LMFAO.


im sorry. i will try to pay attention more when you speak.

 

does anyone know the weight of the Nitto 555R DR tires in 247/45/17????????? i used to know but i can not find my notes where i had this on paper. i also thought i posted this info a while ago and i just spent 2 hours back tracking many of my posts. i can not find the weight.

i MUST know.

 

You better...

 

I actually run a Buschur front cross member myself now, evodan is right; it does save more weight.

I have a tiny two-car garage myself, but there are plenty of places under the front of the car to use as jacking points other than the OEM cross member.

NOTE: Don't let any dyno operator strap the front end of your car down by hooking into the lightweight Buschur cross member's tow loop, from the sides... it will bend! You can get around this problem by running the tiedown straps up and over the Buschur bar, behind where it bolts to the bumper beam with the two front bolts.

 

Yes, absolutely, I'd think a dyno operator would need his head examined to strap a car down by that loop! I've seen operators tie them down by the rear hook under the spare tire too!

We run an axle strap over the bar between the mount and radiator, two of them, when we strap the cars down. I also never jack my car up by the front, I jack from the jack points on the sides.

 

I would jack from the jack points on the sides but my current, 1 car, tiny *** garage, has so little room on the sides its pretty much impossible to do that...

I have plenty of room in the front of the car & obviously the back when the door is open...

 

i got this bracket today. the quality is outstanding. for anyone at this level of weight reduction i highly recommend this part.

 

here are some better pics.

 

Nice, bracket looks good! I'll try & head up your way Sunday, if your around, to grab mine...

 

no problem. i should be local somewhere.

 

I have some serious weight reduction going on this spring as well. Great thread guys. The wiring harness has just begun...

I can't sleep.

Does anyone know the weight difference from the rs non hid non adjustable low beam vs the gar hid with adjustable head light housings?

 

Ahhh...I just had my headlights out (non HID gsr). I could have weighed them for you. Maybe Friday if you remind me I can pull it back out to weigh it for you.

I removed my aftermarket HID ballasts (ebay specials) and am going back to normal non HID 9006 bulbs. Saved 2.0 lbs

 

GSR HIDs w/height adjustment = 8.4lbs each
