no the power to weight on this car, i mean you are looking as you sit with an ls motor of a p2w of 17.3 give or take and you have improved by 1 hp per pound after taking a ton of creature comfort out of this car. i suppose i just dont understand the logic. if you get the k motor and you get 200hp you get a better number, but still fairly high at 12. can you help me understand why you are removing all this again?

100lbs is equal to about 10hp I believe

in the case of this car yes, but that is not always the case with the ratio, but to gain 10 hp for a car that you drive every day, that is not going to feel like much esp when you pull it out in 10 lb segments.

My answer isn't that great other than I want it :lol:.
I plan on tracking it a lot.
In response to the creature comforts I've taken out:
Power steering so that I can get more road feel. The way the steering was before I couldn't tell what the tires were doing.
A/C because I never use A/C ever. Plus I want a cleaner bay.
Rear seats - because 1) no one I know even fit back there 2) I love how it looks without them. 3) no one tries to bums rides off me now haha

No matter what people might think there is a reason for what I do. Whether they like it or not is up to them. I'm building this car for me. A decently fun, yet still reliable DD that I can thrash around at the track. Plus it has to look good too- that's why I have the Mugen wing and the jdm front. I love that look.

One more thing I'd like to add would be that the whole weight removed total was an after thought. I was going to remove what I did before hand, I just thought it would be fun to track that.

Nothing yet. It's been snowing the like crazy, plus I had exams. No motivation to work on it at the moment. I'll be doing something to her soon though =)

Sorry guys, it's been so cold lately so I haven't been too motivated to work on the car. Plus I'm out of money at the moment. :lol:

You ran out of money? didn't think that was possible.
