Did you have it weighed with the full cage and all???

Didn't see that. What did your F:R weight end up coming out to?

.........

Ah. So basically a 56/44 F:R split with a half full tank.

Probably even out to around 54/46 with a totally full tank. Also puts full tank weight at right under 2900 lbs.

This is about where I anticipate my car coming in with my half cage and less-aggressive weight loss.

So, basically 55:45 on the weight dist.

I rounded it up to 56:44, but yeah, basically.

just wanted to share this with you guys...this motivates me and then seeing you guys do it mostly by yourselves is even more motivating!

Keep up the work OP and others that have track oriented builds!

The weight is with full cage and half a tank of gas.

The car is quick. Rotates perfect IMO. I soften up the rear a lot with sways and dampening.

That good? His wing mean anything since he'll get down force at speed?


You did this because of feel or because you saw 55/45?

I'll be 58/42 with 1/4 tank, 56.5/43.5 full tank. That's probably really bad either way.

Damn car is damn light, my preference is more front camber I never ran a pyrometer but felt best between 3.3-3.4ish

The pic you see is when we first put the car on the scale. After the corner balance the car ended up at 54/46.

I made the rear soft to keep the weight planted longer which will keep grip longer. It has seem to work great.

There's more weight to be had off this car. Even the front. Just haven't got there yet.

Ordered a taller more natural shift knob from Rod at Z1 Motorsports

My new shift knob from Z1Motorsports (black one) compared to my Forged Performance. Love them both equally in there ways. Because of the aggressive shifting the Z1 knob feels a lot better ergonomically in my palm. Plus the lighter weight surprised me. I always preferred a heavier knob but it works great. Feels a lot more graceful.

But I will never get rid of my Forged knob. Had it for about eight years and it's been in my last three cars (350Z, G37, 370Z). Will go in my next vehicle. It's looks so bad ***.

I too switched away from what's thought to be better, a heavy knob to a MCR knob which is very light weight and sits very low compared to other knobs! My impression is it's a more connected feeling?
