i was there when resource weighed his car....and it weighed in at 2350. Why is this so hard to believe? if you seen the car, you'd see why it's so light. The fella has done some crazy **** to save on weight. If a part required 4 bolts to hold on he'd only use 2. **** like that

That was a mistake. My car weighs alot more than that. The scales around here are bogus. Try 2660 without me in it.

Besides, he posted the list of everything he had done to the car -- no way in hell it would reduce weight to 23xx lbs.
It's hard to believe because it's impossible.

and that's the reason he said that. Because everyone was bitching like babies. He had it weighed at 3 different places and they were all within 15 lbs.
2350 is his weight.

A stock Base model FD weighs about 2760lbs full of fuel.
Take most of the fuel out, ~15 gal @ 6lb/gal and you'll have "saved" about 90lbs.
Spare weighs about 23lbs
Jack and "tools" 8lbs (?)
AC and PS ~40lbs
Airbag stuff, ~20-25lbs
Stereo (base) ~10lbs
Cruise ~ 5lbs
Exhaust with no cats ~50lbs
Airpump ~10lbs
L/W Flywheel 10lbs
Smaller battery 10-20lbs
So that is getting the car down to 2460-2480lbs or so.

If his car weighed 2350 and that was that, then there's no reason whatsoever he should have to justify it to anyone. Making up stories or "changing" the weight to shut people up.. What's the point?

I'd use my own computer but I'm sick of making up names.
The 8.8 is the same. Unbalanced driveshaft, leaky rear trans seal from wrong size driveshaft yoke, extremely loud rear suspension from solid heim/4 link. Loud howl from gears. Shocks brackets were welded on crooked so they're in a bind causing them to break often.
other than that the 8.8 is doing wonderful.
