What front beam? The crash-absorber one?

The rest is a good tradeoff, I've been running radio-free for a while now. Even travis's car though, which I suspect is about the pinnacle of where yours or mine would ever end up at (well, except I'd like mine to have a working engine :p) can't get down to 3K competition weight I don't think.

Oh, and NASA CCR link: http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/ccr.pdf

Yep the crash beam.:tup: If you run a TT kit you can't run this anyways due to the large intercooler. I know it wouldn't be recommended by some. Soon enough the AC will be compromised also. Let me get through this summer.

but thats also cus the intercooler gets bolted in place and essentially becomes like your crash beam.. I would leave it honestly man, it also provides alot of support for the shape of your bumper, your bumper would become all flabby otherwise.

The more I think about it, it's defiantly a bad idea. One of those rambling think out loud ideas.:shakes head: I've gone weight saving crazy
