I use the weight watchers points, others just use slim fast 3 times a day, and others...well they are sponsored by lettuce companies and stick strictly to only lettuce.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I usually dont eat or sleep 4 days before the race because i am rushing so bad to get it done,

 

i.d.k. what i did from last year to this year, but somewhere my car lost 100 lbs and we ran with more fuel than normal. i know it didnt come off of my belly. we were 2650 last year, and saturday at MIR i was 2540.

he hee. j/k out came all the hvac stuff, power steering stuff, lighter battery, and my 3 piece bogarts are about 30% lighter than the 2 pieces from last year.

i thought you just get a suited up, then go sit in your car, in the sun

 

I lost 10 lbs from 1st to 3rd round of qualifying last weekend

 

Drink a bottle of this the day before a Race.. Guaranteed Weight Loss

 

You ain't supposed to drink it.

In all seriousness, It depends on what your rule boolk will let you get rid of for your class. What class are you going to run?

 

wheels and tires!! you can shed a lot of weight by wheels alone.

dropping the exhaust and taking out the sunroof assembly can save you a good amount of weight as well.

There's quite a bit of thread on the subject of weight.

 

hit up the crack pipe for a week, and by the time u go race ,u'll save alot of weight!!!

and be wired ready to go!

coke diet works good too, but can be more expensive

 

bumper supports, sound deadening material, lighter battery, rear interior(depending on class), wheels, as stated earlier, all the extra crap you carry in the car, take a pre-game dump, if its not a spo-comp car, lexan windows, gutted doors, etc

 

Titanium Vtec cam cap kit. for the true baller



some of the crossmember bolts are huge


Titanium Axles saves 4 pounds
Front LCA saves 8 pounds
Rear LCA saves 4 pounds
Titanium rear LCA bolt kit saves 1/2 pound
Titanium Front crossmember kit Saves 2.5 pounds
Titanium Bellhousing bolt kit saves .6 pounds.

Total weight savings is 19.6 pounds. thats in addition to all the other mods you can do.

thanks

 

what kind of power are those Ti axles rated for?

 

The axle shafts we currently make fit OEM GSR CV joints (stock dimentions). i wouldnt rate them much higher than OEM. The material is about 10% stronger than the oem shaft. The end snot and the tri-pod tend to be the weaker areas.

There are many factors that cause axle breakage, some people snap stock axles with 250 hp and others have no trouble with 400 hp. Putting an accurate HP rating on them would depend on many factors.
