^ ditto, but for most of us the tC is the DD and no real point in removing anything. However, I might think about removing the spare tire though.

I had all the rear panels, Styrofoam compartments, and spare tire removed...Oh man it's crazy loud. I could hear my stock exhaust even with all the road noise.

Don't quote me on it, but I think 17lbs is the equivalent to 1 HP. So you decide.

4. completely gutted rear of car meaning no back seats no plastics no rear seat belts just bare metal.
5. braille light weight battery.
6. rota slip stream 16x7 all the way around.

any questions. and by the way weight reduction is the easiest form of horsepower. the car is 10 times quicker then when i first got it. as far as my mods here is the list
1. custom cai
2. mww header and s-pipe
3 . custom 2.5 inch exhaust from s-pipe back no muffler just straight pipe, its loud as hell but gets the job done.
4. unorthodox lighted crank pully
5. unorthodox lighted flywheel with clutchmasters stage 3 six puck
6. the tires up front are 255 45 16 bf goodrich drag radials thats right i needed wheel spacers to make them fit but they do and im sitting on tein s-types.
7. unichip ecu tuned to run 13to 1 afr off the bottle and 11to1 on the bottle
8. 100 shot of nitrous.

I ran a 13.8 at 101.4mph with a 1.8 60 foot and a 12.83 at 109.5 with a 1.9 60foot.
note i dont have a lsd still peg legged and the car still spins even with the drags and me aired down to 16psi

where did you get the lexan for the hatch???

Also, do you know how much the sunroof motor weights???



Thanks

I saw on one of the other threads that someone had tore out everything down to the sheet metal, then had that truck-bed-liner stuff sprayed in. I thought that was a good idea... for sound and appearance.

Anyone got pics?
