Ever wonder why your convertible weighs so much?

Lol yeah, well i gotta deal setup so i can get some very cheap labor done so I may get an rb25 for it or just get the ka rebuilt with some low comp pistons and get a t3 setup on about 14lbs.

i wonder if replacing alot of the bracing with titanium that would fix some of the weight issues.. i have a customer who works as an aircraft mechanic who has access to scrap peices of titanium that i am sure could possibly be used for bracing... but being new to having this vert and a 240 i am unsure... what would u guys say to that? would that work?

welding titanium is a pain. worse than aluminum. But yes, you could theoritcally cut some of the chassis bracing out and replace it with titanium bits.

I went to my local gravel company and used their scale yesterday. Weight with me in it: exactly 3300. half a tank of gas, and I weigh 182 clothed.

I needed an exact figure to program into my G-Tech unit for dialing in my true horsepower. Nitro

where can you get that vert supplement? I haven't seen one on ebay and I've been checking for months. Does anyone have it on pdf? I seriously need a copy I can't figure out my rear power window setup and duct taping carboard there is kinda ghetto.

Is it better than the one we all ready have?

I have a specific question about the doors.

Is their general shape different than that of the standard s13, with just the additions that are shown here? or is the shape completely different?

In other words, I need to buy a new door for my car, and was wondering if the standard s13 240 door would fit on my vert (minus of course the columns, which can be modded)

damn, thats alota bracing.

Id rather drive a heavier somewhat rigid car over a light unbraced one.

Like the old fox body mustang convertibles, they didnt brace much/anything and those are some flimsy ma****as.

pictures dont appear anymore =\

a lot of the weight comes from the pump and the cables and bracing for the top. If you take out the top components and pump the vert weighs in at less then a coupe or hatch.

Makes me wonder how many pounds is the pump and cables. Is it really worth removing
