Congratulations on COTW, very well deserved...

I wasn't aware of the lightweight windshields... I'll be looking into and considering those...

Tough assignment, but it's probably possible... Granted there will be some trade offs... lose the airbags, add in a roll cage... lightweight seats, lots of carbon fibre parts... hood, roof, trunk... lots of convenience wiring, etc.... A/C, which includes the condenser, all the plumbing and wiring associated with it, coil etc... Let me see if I can find a thread about this very subject...

The FX1 pro racing seats weigh 17.5 lbs each and will be installed on October 12th. So I am expecting to drop another 60 lbs. I was also looking at the Braille light weight battery part number B2618. It weighs 18.5 lbs which would drop 25.5 lbs. But I am skeptical about taking off more weight from the rear half.
