this could be a good idea for you then....obviously you will go through some testing and tuning to re-evaluate the suspension and get it to hook but ideally it should ET better with a better weight distribution
just gotta get it on scales to get it right and you should also be in the car

What would be the easiest thing to do for a daily driver that doesn't effect drivability or appearance? Or is that impossible <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

vfn's website looks pretty cool!
i will yank the pass. airbag, firewall insulation, and the heater core and such.
anyone know where to get some nice lightweight race seats? no not the cheap jaz ones, i just think they cheapen our cars. unfortunately the nice lightweight seats are quite a few bucks!

I got 5 lbs for Cruise Control, 11 lbs for e-brake including handle. Handle was like 4 lbs.
!ABS is next up, any recommendations???
FYI, the stock posi in my 10 bolt was 25lbs. Stock axles around 32 lbs. The steel 12 bolt spool is 9.5 lbs and 33 spline gundrilled axles are 33 lbs. So it looks like the rotating mass will be less in my 12 bolt than the stock 10 bolt.
My CAR IS DWINDLING DOWN TO NOTHING!!!!!

Just did the !Front bumper. What do I need to do in order to get the firewall insulation out of there? What about removing the Pass. side Air Bag? How do I do that?
I will be doing Reckless' Hood Pin Mod soon also. I wil remove all of the latch mechanism and try to fab up a nice Ram Air deal........through the license plate opening??????? <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Here's my weight loss program! This should be good for 50 lbs by July. If I keep to the schedule I can probably find at least 100 lbs by the Thunder Shootout! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
