When you said "deviated stitching" I thought it was full leather, my bad. Wow! It's a perfect spec car then We need some pics asap!!!

Probably around 3,200 lbs with full tank

Ganesh! Good to hear from you! U should know I was never out of the game, just in the P-car game now

Lets catch up

Sorry, Just my seats had the yellow stitching, don't know if that qualifies for deaviated stiching or not. Their coming out anyway

These cars have 16 gal tanks?

Thanks for the input, Pic's will be up as soon as I get back in town.

Thanks again guys,

It qualifies I automatically assumed the whole interior when you said deviated stitching.

16 gals, that's right!

*update Pic on on pg.1*

Now off to the shop to get some fun bits

Stay Tuned!

Update*
This is a bit late but I was rushing to get the car prepped for a local event.
Plan was to put the car on a diet, then focus on the chassis

Here she is.

First round included:
-Seats-996 Clubsports
-Exhaust-Europipe Track
-Rollbar-GMG
-Trunk Delete
-Lightweight Battery -Braille













Mod's were good for approx 100lbs in savings,

Car feels great, original owner had GMG align and add rear toe, links. I think i'm going to head back in to have them check alignment spec. and try some options to better suit my driving style.

Overall it's everything I expected and more.

Next round, will include:
-Suspension Arms / bushings
-Swaybars
-Wheels / Tires
-More Track time. =)

Can't wait to her back out their!

Stay Tuned.

Build a stripper. What did you remove from the trunk? How much weight was saved on this mod?

Which exhaust was used? Did you keep the side mufflers? What battery & which roll bar was used?
Interested to hear more about this

nice car, nice pics

Paul2x

No no, I've been down that road a few times in the past, and won't go their again. This car is too nice, but my first outing in the canyon the car did feel heavy to me, thus me tying to pull easy weight where I can.

I pulled everything i could from the trunk, panels, tools, carpet. netted 19lbs
As for the other stuff i updated the last post w/ details.

Next is just dialing her in, before purchase i've read several posts on how sensitive the alignment is on these cars in retrospect to handling, and I'm not convinced she's perfectly dialed in, but I know the local tuners can help me with that.

Just like anyother project, they are WIP's and just need time to try different things out, and I'm loving every second of it!
