It is a blessing in disguise. If you were flogging your car around a track every weekend all day long, you would be shortening its useful life quite rapidly. Paul, just think of how many more minutes of driving a left on your car.

Well today is weigh in time. What follows are a few of the items to be replaced with lighter fiberglass or a lighter alternative to the heavier factory items.
Front hood= 32.9 Rear hood=27.8 Rear window glass=9.4 Doors Early=22.9(stripped) Doors Late= 34.6(stripped) Gas tank= 17.5 (empty) Heater parts= 10.0 Targa top= 22.1 Bumpers Late front=44.3 Bumpers Late rear= 43.2 Engine lid=15.2 Well that is a lot of weight to trim off, and a suprise what some of these items actually weigh.

Wow, not a lot of weight to be taken off... eh, front and rear hoods and bumpers look like they net you 30 a piece plus about 20 total for replacement fiberglass...
So 100 lbs to replace the front and rear hoods and bumpers with fiberglass... Not bad. Targa top is really 22lbs? Wowzers. Gota make me a lighter one. Andrew |

If you get it light enough you may not need to put big brakes on the car. The only problem is that you will be going a lot faster between turns and a little slower into them.
Auto xing will never o- heat the brakes but TT and DE might. George |
