One will come up man.. Things have been coming along smoothly for me so far.. Saved 1100 so far on exterior parts so far. Between an Jdm Evo 9 rear bumper and Evo 9 Front bumper
I'm sure its already on the weight list... But you can remove the carpet... There are 2 rails that support the seat rails... Gut those about 1.5in from the mount bolt to save a few pounds. Also te dash beam has about 10lbs worth of useless meat.. I used a stepped drill bit and punched 80 3/4in holes along it... The rear sway bar save quite a bit of weight while on the strip but if you plan to corner put it back on. The x brace behind the back seat isnt needed for straight lines either especially if youre gonna be caged... There is plenty more random **** to remove but its late and i cant think quite right...

Thanks Dave, I'm ready to get you guys this motor, trans, tcase and rear diff to build. I'm sure with your parts my goals will be met. Glad to have STM as well
Im not going to gut it like a tin can. I may have stm fab me up something a bit lighter then the factory dash bar. I don't want to cut out the rear seat x brace. I know a lot of places where you can delete things and still keep the car functional in case you want to bring it back to original.
Give us a call - haven't seen your name pop up on caller ID in a while.
