new directions are always good. Time to remove what is irrelevant.

BEEF · 07-23-2012, 06:35 PM

I take it you put your car on quite a diet. how much weight did she lose?

vten · 07-23-2012, 06:43 PM

I always like that miracle x-bar!

cali yaris · 07-23-2012, 07:08 PM

I'll weight it again after I finish taking more out. Today we started on the tint, that's pretty fun.

No reason to remove the tint... It holds the pieces together as you smash the glass.

Time for poly side and rear windows.

mazilla · 07-23-2012, 07:46 PM

Carpet out? :)

cali yaris · 07-23-2012, 09:34 PM

^ Yes Maz, I know you have dibs.

@ Jason, I definitely want to try that -- at least the rear quarters, that looks like a fun weekend project.

fnkngrv · 07-23-2012, 09:37 PM

I have thought about the summer next year already and am looking to go poly windows, but not sure. If I go poly then it can't be on the street at all. Lookin great Garm!

Jason@SportsCar · 07-23-2012, 10:29 PM

You can get a lot of weight out of the doors.

This one is a bit more mild.

cali yaris · 07-24-2012, 01:36 AM

I'm not taking that little door brace out until I have get the full cage fabbed up.

exactly my taste

cali yaris · 07-25-2012, 06:05 PM

Thanks! today more progress. Fitted a Sparco bucket seat to my old brackets -- bye bye Bride. (and thanks Jason for the hookup on the seat)

Wow, this thing holds me like my mommy's womb. mmmmm.......

Passenger seat is out -- no more ridealongs.

next is driver door panel, then the carpeting.

Jason@SportsCar · 07-25-2012, 06:24 PM

Nice.

OK, I will start the final weight guessing. 2050lbs (no driver) with a 1/4 tank of fuel, in race trim.

justjesus · 07-25-2012, 06:58 PM

Jason: NICE trim job on them doors, especially the white one!

Garm: without that second seat, how can I help you shave two seconds???

cali yaris · 07-25-2012, 07:15 PM

@ Jason I am amazed at your car's weight WITH a full cage. That's going to add in about 50 back on mine?

@ Jesus -- I'll bring this instead, it's lighter than you.

justjesus · 07-25-2012, 07:22 PM

LOL

you gotta stop posint funnies. My boss is going to think i don't work.
