Look into swapping in a lightweight racing fluid washer fluid. But be sure to fill it up all the way, having the front end so light might cause it to raise up like a drag car on acceleration.

Easily corrected by fitting negative camber mudflaps.

Shouldn't there be a torque dip in the middle of this?

No, of course everyone knows torque dip is more of a topping.

Wouldn't downloading data make the server lighter?

I don't know much about servers though, except I don't like to tip them. So you may be correct.

You should have only deleted the drivers side part of the grill .....

Where ever did common sense go ......

No it doesn't. It would if it was the left side.

Corner balance. You move the battery down to the washer bottle.

But then you have to compensate for all that extra electricity on that corner too.

Move spare tire to front bumper.

We really need Gforce to weigh in on this.

No doubt he can tell us exactly what needs to be placed where.
