You still have OE headlights, OE fenders, is the rear window lexan? Windshield lexan? I'm assuming you gut entire interior including abs/SRS delete gut, all side windows and regulators. Fuel cell OE? Single exhaust titanium, front and rear bumper reinforcement beam delete?

Every HP counts when your car is that light! Maybe when u go built motor with cams, a knife edged crank would help as well. I'd throw one of those ATI or URGE crank dampers on there too.

I know what your car weigh, Rylan. There are some stuff I won't live without. And to tell you the truth we didn't do as much as we should. We could have cut another 30-40 lbs during the build but we didn't do the extra step. Car was originally built for Honda Challenge. Never thought we will run USTCC GT.

I won't make mods that cost too much money or permanent as I don't plan to run USTCC GT next year. The rules are just too open and will cost astronomical to run it.

I plan to run STU next year since runoff is at Laguna Seca. Winter will be test day with STU aero to see how much slower ill be with that package. It might surprise me.

if you know what my car weighs then you would know it doesn't take a bunch of carbon to get an s2k bellow 2300 lbs

great news on stu! Tony's building a miata for it too.

Well, if you're willing to live without P.S. and run the trans, which is surprisingly about 50 lbs lighter. I say, either way the cost is pretty high. LOL

trans is not lighter, it was about the same as stock and we had to add a cooler. also the lack of ps is a non issue. the car is great without it.

the quaife 69g looks to be 45kg without bellhousing and flange or cooler.

We're also doing the transmission tunnel clean up thing for the main purpose of being able to get to the damn right side seat bolts for adjustment, lol. A few pounds available there from the shaving and improved convenience, win-win!
