Small batteries are finicky, if you have the wrong charger or let them discharge too much they will go bad. Sometimes they will just lose cranking amps over time. With Porsches battery drain issues, this is a fairly high maintenance situation.

Having it on a Daily Driver is a good thing. I like the warranty I have with the xtreme, just take it to batteries plus store and replace.

 

Stock 996TT exhaust incl the bolted on heat shields and X50 tips: 59 lbs.
AE Performance 996TT/GT2 exhaust (no cats): 26 lbs.

(same calibrated corner weight scale used for both)

Impresive pic Tom,congrats,car looks amazing as a race car.I like her a lot.

 

thanks

just finished engine mods that took alot of weight off, just dyno'ed and weighed car

2700 pounds with 1/4 tank of gas.

 

Hats off to you Tom...that is unbelievably impressive!

Thank you for showing us that this kind of weight loss is possible with enough commitment and dedication to the task.

 

really its my pleasure, lets face it my wife doesnt care!!

 

The car started 3567 with 1/4 tank and now is 3283Lbs after I took so much stuff out I'm still a fat pig.
Took out: tools, spare, jack, subwoofer, front drivetrain, rear seats and belts, bumperettes, spoiler hydraulics, baby sized battery( 11lbs), gt3 seats, kw v3 coilovers.
But I do have tial 30r's, 4.5" coolers, das sport roll bar. I wish i was in 3100's but oh well.

 

No wonder that thing is a sled!!! I didn't have that much stuff out and weighed 3140...I still had the 2 stock 60lb heated seats!!! get rid of the stereo!!! Who needs tunes when you have GT30's!!!

 

3082 full tank (less next week)

3100's takes quite a bit of reduction.

 

something doesn't make sense, why is my car so damn heavy. Mike if you were 3140 thats a 140lb difference hmm 4.5" intercoolers, 30r's and roll bar do not equal to 140 lbs.
Hmmm, stereo what's that?

 

Sounds like difference of sunroof, exahaust maybe, bumper supports.

 

This is my car right now 02tt
tial 30r's, 4.5" intercoolers, blow through system, straight pipes, clutchmasters stage 3 c w/964 rs lwfw, gt2 slave conversion,2nd fuel pump,torque solutions motor mounts,997 tranny mount kw v3's,cup cables, ssk, das-sport roll bar, gt3 seats, hollow spokes with toyo r888 245/315
I have deleted the tools,spare,jack, rear seats, belts, front drive, spoiler hydraulics, wiper delete, exchanged seats and etc. Oh well it is what it is. I guess all you ladies with baby turbos, oem intercoolers and plastic piping weigh so little is because of that

 

I don't see how you are still that heavy with RWD conversion.

 

Adam's car must have been an armored car from the start...

Look back in this thread..I have all the light weight mods you have, except the seats (I had that roll bar at the time too). Bigger turbos and IC's are only a few lbs...

I weighed my car at Lebanon Valley Dragway when I first went. I weighed all my stuff when I took it off (or I used someone else's' weighed measurement (ie clutch, exhaust)). I estimated my weight loss to be 246 lbs. When I went back to the track to weigh my car it said I was 250lbs lighter. (Accurate? maybe...same scale at least, and I always had less then a 1/4 when I go to the track).

You must be missing something or the scale you are going to is off? Did you baseline on the same scale?
