Looks great! How much do the rear seats weigh and how much does that CF rear partition brace weigh? Would be cool if someone made a CF panel that covers that whole area and replaces the back seats.
Thanks! I did not weigh the seats nor the partition brace. I can tell the brace is lighter than the factory stamped steel one. And the seats don't weigh much at all.
noticed u had lexon front and side but switched to skipper. any reason for going skipper? I'm deciding if i should go with lexon carbon front and sides or Tom's carbon front and side. I only have rear Tom's diffuser atm but I like the clean look of lexon.

I like the looks of the Skipper front and sides, and they match the Lexon rear diffuser pretty well.
Been wanting to get a lightweight battery and finally ordered one yesterday. Can't wait! i34CE
CONGRATS!! That's the way to go!! The specs match up and surpass OEM specs in most areas plus the big bonus, Super Weight Savings!! I am ordering Braille lithium battery soon too after my great disappointment with the RR Racing Lithium battery. I am very disappointed with RR racing as a company and it has been a bitter pill to swallow.
Did you consider braille's ML30C? Other than cost difference was there a reason you went with the i34CE?
It does look like a perfect fit in the bay. Didn't look like you needed to modify anything for fit.
That looks great and always good to shed those pounds especially in the battery. My only issue with lithium batteries has been long-term storage. I purchased one of the other smaller Braille carbon batteries for the track car and after a few deep Cycles it was dead as a doornail. Just keep it on a lithium tender, which should be a pulse base charger. That's what Braille indicated should keep it alive if you store the car.

Thanks! Sorry to hear about your experience with RR. I went with i34CE because they can build it with the POS. terminal on the left. Not so with the ML30C and i48 (the other two I've considered)
The i34CE is shorter than stock by about 2" but the same foot print, right now, I have a piece of foam under the battery so that the factory hold down will work. I may make something in the future to hold it down without the foam spacer.

Yup! 30 lbs savings. I'm hoping to not have issues with this but we'll see. I may just disconnect the negative terminal during long term (winter months) storage. I also bought this with a 6A charger as a package but I am not sure if it's meant to be left hooked up for long periods of time. So, I am looking for one designed to work that way.
Ron, your build is always on another level from everyone else. Very special brother. Big props!
I haven’t researched that Ctek thing yet.
Is it s charger and a monitor? Or just a monitor?
Ran my RR battery dead other day at the track. Left car in accessory mode and went to lunch...
Had to jump it to get on track. Felt like a tard.. Does that thing send you a signal when the battery is about to go dead?
I’ve been wanting to get a maintence charger for my battery from RR. Haven’t decided.
