Default Say it ain't so....Fireball is doing weight reduction

Since I'm getting ready to refurbish the engine with alot more goodies...figured while it was out, might as well put a tubular K-member in <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

And that 12% off deal from PPO sure helped seal the deal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

So how much weight am I taking off the nose by doing the K-member only <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

BMR didn't specify mat'l...but it said it weighed 24.5 lbs WITH motor mounts <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I don't know about the BMR, but I was really happy with the PA kmember and aarms. They saved ~45# total. A kmember/aarms, hawkerbatt, !bumper, !air pump, and !cruise will save ~100# off the front end of the car. Another 30# if you do !ac. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I thought the BMR was supposed to save 34# and was supposed to be 7.5# lighter than any other k member out there because of the mounts?

On that note, I ordered mine today and hope to have it late next week <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />
