Yes, makes total sense; you have gutted the car whereas they (AMS) had to have the car with interior for two of the tests; just didn't think there was that much weight inside the car since you still need seats and then you have to add the role cage. Obviously I have no idea what it takes to make a car!

Later, Ken

 

i'd take a wild guess and say with a full cage and a few more lbs lost, with a seat.. you should be sitting in the 28xx lb mark.

which would be infckincredible... now I am super anxious to weigh mine! haha.

is that a trans am and a moped in a bubble?

 

Looks good man, nice work.

 

It's just getting a simple roll bar for now, should only weigh 30ish pounds. In the end I think the car will end up close to 2,750...or very close to that.
There's so much **** in the shop haha, but ya the T/A is my friends and the old Z50's are some of my old pit bikes.

 

Looking good man...And remember OB is the fastest! Here is my pitbike 07 crf50 with the BBR110cc stroker kit!!

 

lookin' good ryan. The paint still looks like it came off the floor.

 

hey ryan, looking good. damn that's light.
so are you going to run glass or go straight into unlimited for redline?

also things are looking better on my end. have a motor going in next week so if the thing holds together for my nasa weekend shakedown run on the 21-22 i'll be seeing you out at bw the following weekend. can't wait to see your car in person with all the new work that's gone into it.

have a safe trip out here,
sean

 

Thanks man, I try to keep it clleeeaannn
Good to hear you're getting things all back together! Hope you make it out.

There is no way I'll be in Unlimited haha, just Modified/Limited for me. Even then, I don't think the car will be competitive

See ya soon

 

dude! 500+whp at under 2800lbs is competitive even with me driving it.

you'll definitely give them a run for their money. it wouldn't surprise me at all to see you on the top step.

 

Haha thanks for the good words. I hope to do well, but I know there will be some VERY serious cars to compete with...especially some with some crazy aero (something I'm seriously lacking). Anyways, thanks again and can't wait to get out there and run with ya

 

Stop sand baggin'

 

From 3150 with full interior to 2743 is a lot of weight for an interior. Could you give some insight as to what weight came from where other than the spot weld drilling? How much did you get from the carpet and stuff if you can put a figure on any of those parts it would be helpful.

I've seen corvette's do a semi-gutting, where the car is basically gutted , but the carpet is left in tact to preserve the look of a full interior. I want to do something of that nature. Only need about 150 as opposed to a complete gutteration. Different car though obviously but wanted to get an idea as most guttings follow the same principals.

 

Looks good. Cant wait for this season!

 

No offence but stupid Mitsu need to make the next gen evo XI like this and weigh less around 2950 or so... I will pay 50K for just this.
