need a 90mm inlet though... anyone seen one of those ?

Bring it back here is what the car looks like so far. Getting rid of the steering column junk, and removing the pass. side seat mounts saved another 12.7 lbs. I still dont know what the car weighs but I would be willing to bet its gonna be the lightest 370 around with out using carbon fiber parts.

ChrisSlicks · 02-10-2010, 07:50 PM

Wow, that's stripped!

travisjb · 02-10-2010, 09:01 PM

wonder if we should get rid of the e-brake???

Fathead · 02-10-2010, 10:00 PM

No, get rid of the head lights and make an aluminum single exhaust.

travisjb · 02-10-2010, 10:43 PM

I'll call you about all that... still thinking about the headlights

All parts built for this car are available. I am off to see if I can take moar weight out of the car. I will post moar better pics tonight.

Fathead · 02-11-2010, 11:45 PM

This is the back with the last brace drilled out

false floor and dead pedal

adjustable column mount

travisjb · 02-12-2010, 12:03 AM

nice work, junior! great progress...

footwork will come much easier now! is there enough room there to get at the clutch w/o accidentally clipping the dead pedal? just need to double check that

travisjb · 02-12-2010, 01:01 AM

junior, forgot to mention, the adjustable column mount looks like a solid piece! can't wait to try that out and post impressions

hey, so who can make a rear diffuser like this one? extends all the way under the rear wheels and creates some real downforce? need this!

Ken in AZ · 02-12-2010, 11:38 AM

Dang! Travis - the car looks awesome! I gotta check it out when you're done

travisjb · 02-12-2010, 11:47 AM
