removing the AC system along with a ton of sound deadening,insulation, and air bags should help even it out a good bit. All of those will come off of the front.

It's a bit too early to worry about that though, the roll cage hasn't even been added.

Exhaust manifolds dumped through the hood? Side exit exhaust?

Sharif@Forged · 07-21-2009, 04:06 PM

When we are done, the balance of the car should remain fairly close. Once the cage, diff coolers, and all the weight comes out under the dashboard and engine bay, she should be in good shape.

At that point, the overall chassis balance will be fine-tuned via shock, tire, and alignment settings.
This is actually our 3rd full blown race car we've built, so I expect it to be our best one yet.

License plate location.

Will also have V-band quick release silencers, for tracks with noise restrictions.
