You may ask that, but I still haven't weighed the car. I'm installing front lower control arms right now... slowly... and I have 2 other weight reduction mods coming up soon, so I'm still not going to weigh the car until at least those are done. Also, I still have to weigh my stock driveshaft (already weighed the new one) and the wing.

Not even a rough estimate of how much weight you might have dropped ?

I might start ripping things apart trying to get lighter pretty soon too..

Oh. Yeah, I keep track of that in my stats at all times. Look at the "drives" line under my avatar. I just don't know the actual total weight of the car.

Well you can use post #2 from this thread to figure out exactly what it would take to get to 225. And it all depends on your own particular definition of "street friendly."

I could do total stripped racer (including AC delete) and be happy as a DD as long as I had a half decent radio. I know others who could strip the interior and not have a radio but would need decent exhaust muffling.

So you want music to help muffle the exhaust sound?

I've got no problem with loud... and I love a good racecar sound, but I want some music to go with that. I'm just weird though.

How's the visibility out of the APR GT3's? I just ordered some myself as they were cheaper than OEM replacements for my rebuild after a wreck on track, curious how well they work in practice though!
