Also, the mods you still have planned will be fairly significant (my LithiumPros batt alone will save ~25lbs).



Getting my car prepped for Nat level SCCA Solo work.


Thanks for the reply!
well the exhaust saved 55 lbs alone ;-)
BBK was 35lbs iirc
ebrake delete was 22 lbs
driveshaft was 13 lbs (00ps forgot to mention that).
wheels tires 16 lbs total
front a arms 14 lbs
tierod ends 2 lbs
KW's with topmounts 14 lbs iirc
spare tools, etc 35 lbs iirc

thats 206 lbs in a heartbeat...so i think the 2 hours on the dyno and 3 gallons fuel used was included...

I will when I get home a guy local to me cuts louvers for the jeep/off road crowd (go slow with fans blazing!) so I was looking at the options for getting better airflow through the nose and came up with a old school option I first saw this solution on the lancia stratos rally cars.


Whooo that just dated me!

Bad news is the scion paint isn't very elastic and so the paint chipped/fractured...paint back to stock or color them robispec orange?

Sweet, I don't know how well the orange will go with the gold wheels though...are you going to have any more orange accents?

I think the orange would look good but clash with all the red on the inside, since you are changing seats anyways you can probably get rid of most of it inside. Orange wheels and louvers or white wheels with orange louvers and mirrors.
