Not really. I posted pics from the corner balance. Weighs in at 2831 with full cage and half a tank of gas. Still more saving to bring it under 2800 easily. But I want it off the front of the car.

Awesom build Sphoon been following it for a while. Think you will ever do W2W racing with it?

As somone who has torn this car apart and have had sheetmetal cut out no doubt in my mind why it weighs as much as a small tank. The chassis is massive from huge rails that traverse the car to heavy subframes, to motor and tranny. Its a big car and Nissan has no hesitation over engineering structures and using tons of steel.

Although my car is headed to sub 2600 lb territory soon. I know where all wieght hiding places are for this car now. But not many people are going to be willing to be quite as crazy as me.
