on my E36 BMW with a 3/16" lexan front windshield, the weight savings was negligible compared with stock glass. replacement glass is roughly the same cost as the racing shields pre-formed lexan windshield.

^ It is 40 and raining in Seattle. 50 miles east we are getting another 2 feet. You have sunlight and cheap gas so it all balances out. Baker has 89 inches of base. It will be a good snow year.

I am going through an ex-IMSA GTU 911 that I recently got. It needs a bunch of cleaning up and a few maintenance items:
- proper fuel cell mount (done)
- re-route a few oil lines
- make a sport muffler for Lime Rock events
- clean up the interior: paint roll cage, clean and organize oil lines, wiring, put SFI padding, etc
- rebuild master cylinders and calipers
- raise engine/trans in the chassis about .75" so headers aren't the first thing to hit the ground!
- repair fiberglass in front spoiler and rear bumper from apparent off-track excursions
