Weight reduction, service truck storage, new exhaust

Rate this Entry
I put together some storage boxes to mount to the tire rack - this should keep us a bit more organized in service






We also began to put the car on a diet. The rear doors were gutted and lexan windows were fabricated. We saved 28 pounds per door doing this.

I traced the windows on to cardboard and then from the cardboard to the lexan


The lexan windows don't quite fit right in straight form. The require thermal forming to get them to fit.


after forming


we also put in air vents evo style










The exhaust was also modified. the muffler/cat was removed and replaced with an even higher flow random tech cat (a 100 cell piece)

    I'd add an angle to the front of that service box. I guess your mileage will already suck towing the rally car, but if you drive it anywhere else you could probably salvage a few mpg.
