    One step closer to the track. Alignment is done and I now have a semi working tachometer

    Good thing the SL was in the garage. If you need to go faster ($), I can always take #79 back

    I should be able to make it to the track toward the end of the month. Pulled about 25 more pounds off the front of the car, getting really close to the 2000lb mark.

    Installed headlight covers to help with aerodynamics and of course the cool factor

    Since this thread has gone for a bit, would you mind reviewing all of the weight savings you have found?

    Surething but most of it people would not be willing to do unless building a straight up track only car.

    Removed the complete interior and I do mean everything except steering column/wheel, pedals, e-brake. Even removed the rubber pads on the pedals and replaced it with skate board grip tape. Metal cut out of doors, speaker area, and behind the tail lights.

    Re: 1986 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z T3 DOHC Tuned at FwdPerformance

    Windshield wipers, motor, and all linkage are now gone.
    One set of headlights and associated wiring.
    Hole sawed the snot out of the bumpers.
    When trimming the fenders for the larger slicks I noticed that most of the front part of the fender is covered by the nose cone, so I removed all of that metal as well.
    Pretty much trimmed off every bolt in the car and removed most of the redundant ones.
    Removed almost all of the metal that holds the ground effect on.
    Drilled and slotted rotors.
    Almost all fittings that were brass are now aluminum.
    Aluminum radiator and lightweight fan.
    Lawn mower battery.
    All emission lines, canister, etc removed.

    Awesome! Thanks for the rundown! Now I know why my car won't be that light! LOL I have WAY more crap I have to put in it, plus I'm keeping some amenities (even though it seems counter intuitive). Oh well. I guess I'll keep aiming for that 2500-2700#'s wet weight...and that is even going to be a challenge!
