Re: Official Weight Reduction Post!!!

I already put my side exhaust for weight savings, but I think I lost some torque, My exhaust is next to my front passenger wheel, and it's 2.5", no catback, no muffler no nothing. Just a custom tube from my header to the front wheel.

I will be spraying with a NX direct port system, so is my exhaust ok???

Re: Official Weight Reduction Post!!!

Last updates on my ride were:

Lexan glass except for windshield.
NO rear bumper
Lightened front bumper
FIG-MO* front and rear strut braces. ( hell-uva difference in handling )
Switched from a 16 foot nitrous line to a 6 ft line.
Placed nitrous solenoids INSIDE cabin to keep away from heat.
in progress is a E36 headlight conversion.

Weight 1860lbs.

Home Depot.
$60 for a big sheet. I needed the QUEST to bring the sheet home.
I used 3 sheet total.
1 for rear window
1for two side windows
and another for the rear quarter windows. ( plenty of lexan left over )

DONT GET THE ACRYLIC. ACRYLIC BREAKS WHEN YOU DRILLED IT OR RIVET IT.
THE LEXAN TOOK A BEATING WITH A BAT!!!!!!

I took a bat to the LEFTOVER LEXAN to show the wife how strong it was.

I cut the lexan with a BLACK&DECKER electric saw.
I used a special PLASTIC CUTTING blade as well.
