Ask and you shall receive LOL...

someone is in Alabama Lana made the journey safe and sound. She is in great hands. What an amazing group of guys and what a great facility. TOP NOTCH! Everyone seemed to enjoy the ride too. What a blast cruising down the roads of Alabama I will update with pics and everything later. Hotel internet isn't the greatest.

I have decided I will keep this thread going as it seems to be an epic thread Only update is that everything is going as planned. I am having a bunch of trick carbon fiber parts being made, working on a K member, and doing a few custom interior pieces. Going to do some painting also I am now going to start more weight reduction and try for 2200# without cutting a thing Not sure if I will keep a full dash and door panels, but still want to keep a stock appearance. It's getting harder and harder. Turbo is on the way as we speak. I am planning another trip to Alabama so I can do a little work on the car. As soon as I have some pics I will post up... Stay tuned...

Did you ever install that spool? What ever happened with that. That was going to save a lot of weight, I thought.

I am using the Sparco rails and I don't remember exact weight but it was substantial. Way more than 4#. More like 20# a side

I never did the spool and I don't think there would be too much weight reduction with that part.
