weighed the turbo yesterday

Down at a DE at PIR yesterday and got a chance to get on the scales. With me and my helmet on board and just over half a tank of gas we weighed 3460

gas =6.5 x 6 gallons= 39 lbs
Helmet= 4 lbs
me= 165 lbs

So the total car weight works out to 3252

Lightening includes...
RWD conversion
LWFW
Fabspeed exhaust
spare and tools removed
floormats and manual removed

I have the standard power seats with rears, + sunroof

I was pretty happy to already be this light. The Clubsport seats might get me below 3200

Rob, that is pretty darn light. The seats front to GT3 and rear removal will certainly get you below 3200.

The standard Power Seats weigh alot. Just those will make a huge difference.

Thx guys,
The DE was a blast. I ran in HPDE2 for the first time so it was pretty intense for me. The caliber of cars out there was really amazing. Ford GT, many c6 and c5 ZO6's, a gorgeous 360 CS, GT3's, 996tt and everything else.
I absolutely loved the rwd feel. Also got to meet Luis with the black GT3, definately as cool in person as online. My seats were really horrible though, my leg started to cramp up by the end of the day from pressing so hard into the door to keep me from sliding
