The car is all steel 914/6 with the excepton of lids and bumpers. It has a substantial cage. I just ordered a lightweight battery ...around 4lbs and will ditch the optima red top. Including the battery tray I estimate this will get me 34lbs. I also ordered a lightweight starter I think this gets me 10lbs.
That leaves me 70lbs. I've thought about fiberglass doors...maybe. Anyone have any other suggestions? |
