Are you sure you are an adult? I can't remember the last time I saw that weight.. maybe 12? 14? who knows lol

You skinny guys be glad you can't gain weight. I just went though the P90X cycle and lost 35lbs! LOL Best weight saving ever!

Jeezus, ya'll are skinny and flimsy mothertruckers!

I'm 5'6 and 180 lbs. That's heavy! I do lift a lot of weights. I bench more than my weight too: 225 lbs, which is starting to scare the hell outta me so I've cut back on weights.

I plan to switch out the hood into a carbon fiber one eventually.

Maybe I'll chuck the back seats. I could even get rid of the spare tire. There's some DIY weight savings.

I'm 5'5" and weigh 135 lbs. 28 years old.

I've read a couple of posts regarding people not using the seat belt loop in fear of tearing out eventually. I guess if your a small person it might not put so much "stress" on the loop. Taller/bigger guys make the seat belt extend more than shorter/skinnier fellows. Does that makes sense?

Sounds like we are about the same size (although I'm maybe 0.5 to 1.0 inches taller). 9 months ago I had you by 85lbs though! That's how I made the car lighter.

I'm no expert on CF weight, but how much can we gain by doing this if the hood is already made out of Aluminum?? I understand if its just for aesthetics because it would look pretty sweet, but those things are pricey.

I'm 6'1, 225-230. This car doesn't stand a chance. Not much to do for weight loss either, other than quit working out. And congrats on the weight loss @Dadhawk!

StarsGarrador · 06-30-2012, 04:55 AM

im pretty close to naz's weight, 6'1" but at a ridiculous 255lbs. It's slowly dropping but I have to cut back on the drinking because the hang overs making going to the gym before impossible haha. It will be fun to see how the car will react once I get to 200. On top of all the other mods

Ive always been skinny, so has my mom, and brother. In middle school I weighed 80-99 pounds. Freshman year I was 100, Senior year I graduated at 110. Right now i fluctuate between 110-114 I have an overactive thyroid which does its part in keeping me from gaining weight.
