lose another 3 lbs. ...
Here is a post at the bottom of this thread on how to save some wt. on your car...
http://d240157.u39.zeonhost.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5179&page=4 I thought a lot of people here would be interested in it. - Randy ___________________ the stock (curved) steel Porsche j-tubes i pulled off my car weigh just under 3Lbs including the nuts and washers. sounds like only a small amount, but, a lot of small amounts add up to significant weight savings in the long haul. the T6 aluminum (straight) strut/stand-off that replaced my steel j-tubes weighs about a tenth (or less) of what the factory provided and are about half the length of the factory version. when i visit Andial next week i'l try to get a picture of the light weight replacement and post it. either way, the part (light-weight or stock) is required to support the rear bumper and fender.

Hell, that's nothin' Randy. I recently lost SIX pounds in just four days. I thought about writing a diet book best seller, but somehow I don't think that "The stomach flu diet" would fly off the racks...

Sorry to hear that - I got a shot & hope it will keep my body from becoming somebody else's ecosystem...
