ASM

 

Here are the new Corner Balance results for the car:

Front: 49.4%
FL: 737 FR: 675
RL: 753 RR: 692
Rear: 50.6%

Total w/ driver + full tank, no pass seat: 2857lbs

1 gal of gas is ~6lbs, I weigh 185+/-3 lbs.

My previous setup weighed in at 2860 w/drive + half tank fuel, yes pass. seat.

Overall, veryhappy with the weight results, I had thought that the roll bar was going to kill my weight. One bad outcome though is that the weight distribution front to back has since flipflopped. Unfortunately, the rear is somewhat of a hard section to lose weight in. I'm looking at possibly an ASM carbon trunk in the future to help alittle.

 

Alignment is as so:

Front:
Camber -2.5*(Maxed, the J's racing Camber joint I ordered will help out nicely here.)
Castor: 6.5*
Toe: 0"

Rear:
Camber: -3*
Total Toe-in: 1/8"

 

instead of investing in an ASM trunk and spending $$, you can sacrifice a couple meals a day and lose the weight an ASM trunk would save you. jkjk

 

The driver sits relatively in the middle of the car, so while losing weight on my own will help the left to right weight ratio and the overall weight, it will do nothing for the F/R ratio. Anyways, I already cut back on meals during the day. These parts aren't cheap you know?

 

The ASM trunk weighs about 10lbs less than oem. In fact, the ASM trunk itself probably only weighs about 3lbs or so (barely lighter than the door). The quality and workmanship is amazing. It's basically an exact replica of the oem trunk (exterior/interior/inlets/holes) except it's made of CF.

If you want to lose weight, get the ASM CF doors

 

CF doors are tempting but I'd never get them as this is still a street car. I will not run CF doors without NASCAR bars. Anyways, I'd rather drop a chunk of cash like that towards something like an Amuse HT, or more likely towards some Motons or JRZ 3-ways.

 

dibs on the kw's

does your alignment/wheel/suspension setup cause a tendency of oversteer or does your sway bar combo make it a bit more neutral?

 

who would think replicas of OEM would be soo pricey

 

Got to ride in the car today The ASM exhaust is a must if you have the $$$$. Power gains of a 70mm, yet just being a bit louder than sock
