Got all of the extra weight I can find out of the car, put the seat, wiring, door seals, brackets, and lower dash on a scale...
68lbs!!! This is gonna be a fun year! |

First 6 Speed Autocross Test
Well, not much more to say here. I got beat by being to conservative...again lol. We kinda knew already, but this gearbox desperately needs an LSD, I wanted to be sure the C60 swap would work before spending $1000 on a LSD. Oh boy its was tough going back to an open diff, aside from that the car handled amazingly!
