For those of you that have removed the spare tire well...what thickness aluminum did you use to replace it? I thought I had seen it, but can't find it now.

Looks like I'm back in the weightloss game
I'm dropping a turbo eg33 in my Impreza and I want to ditch the extra 100lbs I'll be gaining. I just finished chopping out my whole rad support and I'll be building an aluminum boxframe support. I'm working as a helicopter mechanic now so I've got access to pretty good aluminum fabrication equipment Not really sure where else I can find weight up front to lose, the car is already pretty lean I might finally pull the trigger on some DBA 5000 rotors, I'm deleting power steering and going to have another attempt at a smaller alternator, which means converting most of the lighting in the car to LEDs, which means I can run even smaller wiring. Deleting the vacuum booster too, going to a pedal box on the drivers floor. All in all I figure I've got about 30lbs to remove in this stuff, I'm working my way from the front of the car back looking for things, seeing as the extra 100lbs is all right at the damned nose of the car. I snagged a whole box of junk aircraft wiring from work today so that'll give me a bit to do. |

No it'll be a while before I get it on scales again
Last weigh in on proper race scales was 2790 with me in the car 98 RS + full 05 STI drivetrain (6mt, r180, brembos) I figure 600whp in a 2800lb car should be good for a giggle or two Quote:

Just thought I'd leave this here.. GB for lightweight bumper beams. (sorry mods, I know I'm crossposting, but this seems appropriate..)

Do you daily drive your car? Because if you do good luck when you get into an accident. I don't think it's worth the hassle.
Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC |

Bumper beams aren't for safety, they're for insurance. Japanese market cars don't even come with them.
So I got my DBA rotors, and I also got a new blade for my sawzall. Weeeee. |
