Yep, that was me. Tom is the best, I just wish he did cnc porting on the 4B11 head otherwise I would have him do that to my head as well

Awesome car man. I love the OCD usage of titanium fasteners to save every possible ounce on the car. I bet you can recite most OEM fastener's material, diameter, pitch and length.

Lol, thank you. 99% of the bolts on my car are titanium now.

Yes I know pretty much every bolt on the car. My bucket of bolts is about 70 pounds from switching them all to titanium

The car is up and running! I drove it out of the garage for the first time in 7 months and took it around the block.

Can't wait for videos!

Do you think you'll have traction issues with the car weighing in at 2800lbs?

With the pretty awesome commitment to weight reduction, is there any reason you haven't done a complete Titanium exhaust and moved to 321 or Inco for the entire downpipe?

We shall see. I have pretty good tires and the Aeromotions wing which should help a lot.

I will be doing a Titanium downpipe back exhaust for the track one day soon when I get caught up with everything.

Awesome! That will definitely shave off a healthy amount of weight.

If you don't want to make it yourself, let me know
