I am also looking into the 1/4" wall MS 48 point roll cage for additional chassis strength, JET got me thinking about that.

Damn, the frog warned them!
Okay fine, I have lightened up a few things on the blue cheese I call my car. Looks like everyone has covered the majority of it anyway. I will say this to actually doing any effective weight reduction involves obvious compromises, if you can handle it, it is well worthwhile. I might take things a bit extreme sometimes, but that is how I am. It's all about overkill. Now with said, I am going back to welding up all those holes. :bounce:

Thanks guys. My laser has PS, that's it. No AC, no anti-lock, no power belts, no ground effects/spoiler. Cher said the big thing was the bumper supports.

Mike,
What was that heater core thingy you were replacing, etc? I don't think that was mentioned yet?
Also Rust is your friend. Just scrape the paint down to the bare metal and add waterandsalt. you should be good to go! :goodluck:
Seriously thought someone needs to take some pictures of the interior of Raptors car that way when ever this topic comes up all you have to do is say "See Pict"

For the lack of a better word Younger, you. :stick:
From what it sounded like, the motor was rebuilt with some 'kinks'.
Where's Shane? We need his input.

You guys forgot to remove the dash. All you need is a plumbers strap bracket to hold the shift light. IIRC MTV told me that real street racers don't need a speedometer, if they knew how fast they where going they'd slow down. That was a quote from a honda driver, you damned sure better get rid of it in a lightened DSM. ;)

The engine that you rebuilt had a spun bearing on #2 cyl.
