Probably going to be a winter project! My CR lip has been taking a beating! :/

Weight before Shorai battery & amp wiring removal:


Weight of Shorai LFX23L3:


Weight of Odyssey PC680 & battery tray:


Stereo wiring that I've been lazy to remove... "it can't weight that much, right?"


Weight after Shorai install & wiring removed (-22 lb total):


Next step - corner balance.

Looks about right to me Jake. That's close to what my AP1 weighted. I think the early AP1 and the CR are very close in weight!

very nice josh! The lightest str s2000 ap1 i remember was mark melchoirs, he was 2580 with half tank. Sounds like you are right there if not lighter (hard to tell exact fuel loads).
The lightest i ever got in str was 2540, that was at half a tank on 06+ gauge (who knows what that really means)

in bsp i am finally down below my str race weight. I have 10 pounds i could save on the battery since i cooked my shorai and am back to the deka, and 10 pounds if i remove the rear wing which i didnt have in str last year. On the scales the other day with 15 pounds of fuel i weighed 2535. I am out of ideas on weight now. Take that with a grain of salt for i am on all oem brakes and the monster 18x11.5 wheels
