How can this be an official thread when I searched and saw at least 3 threads with TONS of information.

 

'cause after 9 days of membership, the noob declared it so

 

youre an idiot. go out and drive a 400hp SC and a 200whp miata then tell me the same thing. i guess by your logic driving a 2000hp tank is a better idea then an SC. id like to see the maneuvering competition between those 2

weight is the biggest enemy you have on a performance car...at least the ones that do thing other then going in a straight line.

 

lol, u serious?

 

Word up man. Weight is crazy.

 

I guess you should sell your sc and grab a miata

 

No way...I love my Lexus.


Not to say a Miata would not be fun lol

 

hells no you would never catch me riding in a miata i mean would you really want to look like this guy

 

1. resize your pictures. its annoying
2. im trying to make a point
3. follow-up to number 2...winner 2 years ago of redline time attack was a miata. over craford, ams, cobb, and scion world(chris rado scion tc)

to figure out weight reduction first ask yourself what the purpose of the car will be. if you want a comfortable luxury fast coupe then you are SOL and just add power and keep all your luxurious amenities.

if you are like me and want a nicely balanced car and dont care about comfort then pull everything. ie...AC, rear seats, front CF seats, gut interior, FRP fenders, CF hood and doors and trunk, reduce unsprung weight(aluminum Front lower control arms, and lighter rotors and brakes), corner weight the car with custom valved coilovers(KW, stance AL+/new 2 ways, or get custom 3 ways made), remove heater core, abs, trac, remove gass tank and replace with a 12gal fuel cell in the spare tire well.

use thinnest metal possible for all the piping. ie...make exhaust out of 18ga SS. use 0.040" or thinnner aluminum for IC piping.

you can get our cars in the very low 3000lb range with a lot of modifications.

 

^^ but I thought we weren't spreading legitimate discussion throughout illegitimate threads








btw, Ditto on the annoying pic size!!
