When he lists front and rear bumber he is reffering to the beams. Click the link and the beams are what is shown in the picture.

I've got something cooking, just want to do some research beforehand.

FOR SCIENCE!!!!

I used my finger for reference. I would say my finger is about normal size.

A great help to those who aren't stripping their machines, but would like to know what's behind the plastic.

Is there a chance some measurements could be made on the foam spacer near the dome light and metal support in the center? That would get some good ideas on what the gap space is.

Also, how much weight have you lost now that the headliner is gone. :P

Very impressive work thus far. I also have a target goal of 2400lbs, but with a roll cage. Mine'll be giving up its DD duties once complete somewhere in 2015. Hopefully Tesla will have the Model E available so I can jump in that as my full time FR-S replacement. Until then, I have a miata, and a Dodge Durango R/T v8 to tow the 86.
Still waiting for some more parts to get developed (aluminum and CF), plus i'll be buying most of them used to cut down the cost. For 2014, the weight will have to be ~2580 (minimum competition weight of 2775 in the current class and I only weigh 180 with all my racing gear on).

Needless to say, I stand to benefit tremendously from your efforts. If you were closer, I'd definitely be finding time to come lend a hand.

I'd really like to get down to about 2,350 or so, but without a cage of course. I'm not worried about competing, just trying to have a good time.

I'm feeling pretty sick now. I think I might be getting a cold. But as soon as I feel like not death, I'll get some measurements for you.

sorry if i didn't catch it, but do you have a link for those seats? They look awesome

[solidONE]

Have you been looking at some of the lighter weight exhaust solutions? a compact UEL header and single sided exhaust should be worth at least another -20lbs or so.

Yes, I already have the lightest headers, lightest over pipe, and second lightest front pipe and catback.

Oh... must have missed that. Dang... you're going to have to get really creative for the last bit of weight cutting, looks like. Lexan windows?

[Anthony]

Yep. And a gratuitous amount of carbon fiber.
