Project Featherweight v.2011: NICO's Autocross Truck

[PEZi]

A handfull of people remember it like this...



A few more will remember the days when it looked like this



Then, of course, how most everyone knows it to be...



Some will remember the thread from last year, when NICO's Autocross Truck became an official project



And of course, the satin black has become its key signifier



Times are moving on, though......................

Step inside THIS THREAD to see what's in store for this season

what weight are you actually aiming for? and how much do you think it weighs in its current state?

Will you keep it anchored during windy days?

Well... the goal is to remove all the weight from outer parts (fenders, doors, hood etc.) and then balance it out with ballast in the center of the vehicle. Once everything is all said and done, when the truck is swapped and running in XP, I believe the min weight is going to be just shy of 1900 lbs.

Will you keep it anchored during windy days?

Yes.
