Yea thats a good chunk of useless weight.I can't wait to see the RSD it should look sweet.

F8L GT · November 4th, 2009, 05:04 AM

I will try and get some pics of it pretty soon. I wont have it fully installed after im done doing the nitrous install

F8L GT · November 4th, 2009, 03:41 PM

00vert · November 4th, 2009, 03:45 PM

looks really good! you gonna do anything with the trunk floor?

F8L GT · November 4th, 2009, 04:17 PM

just going to make a cover for the spare tire well with .09 aluminum and put the stock carpet back in.

00vert · November 4th, 2009, 05:15 PM

ah ok. that shouldnt look to bad. have you thought about doin the aluminum with the beads rolled into it in the back instead of carpet?

F8L GT · November 4th, 2009, 06:25 PM

no, there is going to be a rear firwall. its not going to stay open like it is. the carpet weighs next to nothing.

00vert · November 4th, 2009, 06:59 PM

for some reason i thought you were gonna leave it open

foursixblurrrr03 · November 4th, 2009, 08:29 PM

damn that bottle's pretty...
it looks like the RSD is coming along really well!
if only your car wasn't the second best color of gray...

F8L GT · November 4th, 2009, 08:50 PM

F8L GT · November 10th, 2009, 01:20 AM

Didnt do much to the car this weekend as far as weight reduction goes. Was working on getting everything with the nitrous all fabbed up and tucked away nice and neat. Will probably be weighing the car at the end of the week to see where I stand at this point

mikejones16 · November 15th, 2009, 07:59 PM

soooo..... where do you stand at this point?

F8L GT · November 15th, 2009, 08:13 PM

going to throw the front bumper back on in the morning and go weigh it. I just got done making a spare tire well cove our plasmacam tonight

F8L GT · November 16th, 2009, 06:39 PM

where i stand right now with 1/4 tank of gas and with the skinnies on the front im at 2140, the scale i use measures in 20# increments so im anywhere from 2130-2150, i can live with that for a while

ModMustang97GT · November 16th, 2009, 06:50 PM

2130? That is obsurdly light if that is correct. My emissions test said I weigh 3100 pounds with me in the car. (no weight reduction). So that means you dropped 900 pounds?
