Looks good. Depending on the weight of the new I/C you easily saved over 100 pounds.

We had the car on the corner scales today so Robert Fuller from Robi Spec could align and install our new KW suspension.

Factory weight of the car with 3/4 tank of fuel is 3523 pounds.

The car as it sits now weighs in at 3441 pounds.
-No spare
-No tool kit
-KW's
-4.5" thick Race FMIC
-BR upper i/c pipe
-BR lower i/c pipe
-BR MAF pipe
-BR filter kit
-BR catback
-Stock cat
-Stock downpipe
-Stock battery and tray
-vibration damper removed.
-turbo brackets and such removed
-Wooden panels and trunk carpet out

When we install the battery kit and offroad pipe that will bring the total car weight down to 3407.5 pounds.

Heavy car.

Yes David, for some reason all cars are gaining weight when they get a face lift.

That will soon end when the new fleet CAFE 35mpg ratings take affect. Starting in 2011 and completed by 2020.

Not completely. Alot of the weight comes from having to meet new crash safty requirements from the government.
