Don't need that radio either.

Pshh, and rear view mirrors are for chumps.

Steering wheel? I thought you were going in straight lines? That's gotta be a few lbs.

Even better, remote steering, no need for an in car driver. Man that would save me a bunch of weight!

So couple of new happenings. Got the car on a scale and going towards my goal of 1000lbs out from 4570. So a solid 823lbs out the car. Basically this was 5 gallons of methanol, kirkey, dash and a half tank of fuel. Pretty solid. Should be high 3600s with less fuel.

Then a new addition to the car is this carbon fiber "dash" made by @aaron240. Going to eventually take some of the bracketing off as I get motivation but should be a solid amount of weight out the car from 3737!

Back in my autocross days a friend of mine went max effort in his Chevy Aveo and spend a day with dry ice and a hammer/scraper and he weighed out nearly 100 lbs between the sound deadening and all of the carpet glue/seam fillers. Just saying...

Believe it or not my last sho I did this and it realistically was around 10-15lbs. The carpeting is like double layered in places which I'm assuming is the new sound deadening but traditional sound deadening not really a thing anymore at least in sho

Doing a little bit of improving. Used transmission going in with gearhead Torque Converter. Actually going to reseal some things on the engine and check out everything while I'm in there. Got a tiny front cover leak. Going to fix up the rats nest and probably cerakote some things to make it pretty. Going to probably take a month and just really take my time with it! What you're seeing is about two hours of work!

owners needing to wrench on their cars take notice. Save yourself from chasing your tail.
Of all the cool stuff done to this car my favorite is ....I love labeling sh it with tape!

Was this you doing a trip to Mexico?

 

[Jordan_R]

Such a cool build! Trans swap, cerakoting, painting and rewiring now in process!

So 650 horsepower when you get this fixed?

Open turbo life

 

[Jordan_R]

Decent.

 

[Zpak]

That’s a big F’ing turbo.

 

[Jordan_R]

Definitely looks better. Just everything laying on there still need a lot of sorting out!

Quick turnaround from video to covers painted. Did you paint or have them coated? Looks great by the way.

Rattle canned them!

For rattle can, it looks pretty darn good.

Found a little restriction on the wastegate piping. Should help control the boost a little better. A lot of little improvements coming in. Got a new compressor housing gasket, new hpfp roller, exhaust wrap finished up, and timing cover resealed!
