With a bright shiney new door so no lambo doors, don't worry




The previous owner of the house had a room built in the garage. I tore the room down before I even moved in, that was like 8 months ago and I still haven't bothered to get rid of the wood. Anybody need some 2x4's or a slightly modified silverstone passenger door?
"Slightly Modified"

Sounds like you've got some firewood.

This reminds me of the recent Top Gear episode where they had to cross part of africa. They had to strip everything they could off their cars to make them light enough to cross a mud flat.

Well actually 2800lbs at 240hp is 11.66 lbs/hp

so...

-50lbs. = +4.3hp

or at least the equivalent of that.
