Anyone have any pictures of their car that they cut weight out of?
Just want to see the extent of lightening people do.

Thanks!

 

Did I win anything?

 

That is crazy

 

Thats sick, but where are the hangers for the exhaust?

 

Who needs hangers? Weight savings .....lol

 

Hangers weren't on yet at time of pics. They exist

 

haha, I just assumed they were well hidin.

 

wow, what does that CRX weigh in at?

 

Google "Motor Street"

 

Badass CRX! Have read up on it before.
Anyone else on here with pics to share?

 

Crx weighs in at 1740lbs track ready without driver. B series turbo car with A/W and schd 40 mani

 

Any pics of a cut up east coast car. I know they like to make them light. lol

 

Kind of irrelevant considering almost every event here has set weights in every heads up class huh?

 

 

aluminum exhaust likes to break on anything other than drag only. but it is light weight for sure.

 

Some people don't race events. Some people want to go as fast as possible without adding more power. There's also the street guys who want every advantage possible.

Pretty relevant. lol

 

You are correct, and the majority of those sweet street cars are piles of ****. Held together by duct tape or awesome blue painters tape, and probably wouldnt post pics of their **** work on here in the Drag Race Forum.

 

The tape is for aerodynamics, although doesn't seem like it would make a difference to me.
A lot of those guys are in it to make money. They could care less what the car looks like, as long as it wins.

 

Lol, thanks for the lesson. Yeah, the tape is classic! Although mostly on the front ends for "aero reasons", I have actually seen it for holding trunks in place. lol

 

That's legit right there. Gotta remove that trunk latch to save more weight.

I'm kidding on that one, lol.

 

What did you find was the best way to cut the inner structure off of panels? Cutoff wheel? Sawzall, plasma, air chisel? What's the best method to get those inner structures out, as you've done? Your Rex is hella tight! Appreciate the reply.

 

Just go to harry and buy a stage 6 weight reduction kit..

 

Bob, it was a combination of plasma cutter and what it couldn't get, a cutoff wheel was used. Then cleaned it up with an angle grinder with the roloc discs. We made sure to get all the suspension points fab'd before any major cutting. By the way, the entire back half project and lower diffuser was completed by my dad

 

Dad's can be handy dudes.
