evewidow Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 well i am wondering if any one can help me drop my fx down below 1100 pounds, im getting close but the only other thing i can think of is dropping and cutting frame which i dont want to do. so if any one has suggestions this is what i have already done. carbon fiber front fenders and hood, lexan for all the windows, aluminum block, panasport rims (ugly ass), most the interior and a smaller gas tank. so any suggestions would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidgits Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 well, by the sounds of things, you've stripped the interior and covered it with Carbon fibre, short of replacing the roof with it, your running low on choices there.. What are your plans for the car? got any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IZZ-FE Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Speak to a suspension specialist (Someone who builds/works on rally cars is your best bet), see if you can get custom aluminium components to replace some of the standard parts such as suspension arms etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IZZ-FE Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 If you haven't already done so, you can also replace your front seats with lighter items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
