Rear Safety belts & accessories 11.7 lbs
Stock Roof 12.4 lbs
Sound deadening (in trunk and cabin floor) 9 lbs
Rear tow hooks (both of them) 13lbs

I'll keep updating this list. Now of course we put a lot of the stuff back into the car (hey, it needs doors!) but so far looks like we'll pull out around 300lbs from the factory weight. Goal is to have the car weight 3000lbs but I think it will be closer to 3100lbs. Ivan is doing an awesome job!

Just to add to the great info you guys are providing.

I weighed my car before the Cage Guy started his work. She came in at 3157, each front corner was in the 900s and the rears in the 600s. Thats w/ AC, but NO interior, seats, front windows, & window motors.

I gonna have some work to get her up to 3500 for NASA.

Let me know when the AC delete kit is ready!

The CNC billet brackets are on their way to the shop. I saw a picture and they turned out SWEET. Black anodized with the AMS logo in them!!!

I am waiting on a few parts to come back from powder coating and I will have the car all back together!!

Just curious why you guys didn't put a huge intercooler in there. Without a/c and bumper supports the possibilities are endless.

The core that we offer for the x has been proven to be efficient up to 650whp. We are not near that for HP just yet so if it ain't broke done fix it

Plus we really like using off the shelf stuff. It show just how far our customers can push our products.

Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better.

I know you guys have been waiting patiently to see some updates of the car. Trust me your wait was well worth it!

Here it goes
Ivan Installing the AMS CF Carbon Kevlar roof:












The finished Roof install. A+ Fitment FTW
























Just in case you guys were wondering how much power the car ended up making, well lets just say that pitching the TA-X into a full on drift with 295s all the way around was not a problem



Thank you
