1LE - stripping weight (list/comparison)

[Mgizzle]

I did mod the dash bar. I cut off a bunch of brackets that held stuff I removed, also the top portion going to windshield to support hvac module/heatercore, and the painted it all black since it was bare so it doesnt rust. I also modified it around the gauge cluster since the dash held the cluster. I welded some tabs drilled and bow cluster screwed to ip bar directly (those two black screws at bottom). Dang man you took me down memory lane, my little guy was 3 when we cut up the front beam in pictures he turned seven last October!!! Man, going on 8 years with my 1LE and she ages like fine wine. Everytime I walk in the garage seeing my cars just makes me drool.... that 1LE is just mmmmmmm.... cAnt wait for 3350ish lbs. fYI I have a braille 21, 3 years now zero issues. On trickle whenever not in use. i am sure my gut job helps with the draw lol

A pre-made 4pt roll bar bolt-in or weld-in would suffice (drag type for drag) (road course type "diagonal bar" for road course), but I would use it just for that "a roll over bar". I would use all factory safety equipment "factory seat, airbags, and seat belts". Unless you plan on using a solid back racing seat then the roll bar will be used with a harness. If using factory seats etc, then no harness etc, that would lead to death. Also I would stay away from just a "harness bar" the one that just runs across holding just the harness straps.

I almost decided on keeping interior and just going with a roll bar setup, seat and harness. But I plan on having a hardcore lifestyle with this car so my safety equipment plan changed to the extreme.

Hell yeah that's awesome! Why aren't we friends. Did you keep the TC button to switch between modes? See man if ya had a build thread I wouldn't have all these questions lol.

Lol... dude you have no idea the stuff I tried its scattered all over forum last 8 years. I went all out on brakes last year but z/28 CCbs are mega man. I had the TC button but upgraded to z/28 EBCM so that killed the button. Now all i have is abs which is fine all I need. The z/28 module was to fix abs with CCM brakes and now I have full race brembos all around which are also way higher torque. So TC button is leaving lol useless.

Proven wicked steering adapter and aftermarket wheel too man. Proven wicked is awesome, bad ass part and instant support. Still have a horn too.0

I bet they're bad ass! I've been thinking on the CC brakes heavy lately, but I have to get everything else done before I get any more goodies like that.

Nice, which wheel? I have the quick release NRG adapter with Sparco wheel. I'd post pics of what's going on but they show up blurry with photbucket logo.

I have a sabelt wheel, sabelt seat. Sabelt belts. Kept it one theme plus their seat met all I wanted. Sw-490 350mm wheel. Seats are GT200 (actually only one seat after a passenger decided to decorate it with his insides about 2yrs ago).

Yeah no joke, I believe the 2SS seats weight 54lbs each.

Forgot to mention, all you need is the ECU of the brake module not the full hydraulic unit. I this way you dont have to break into lines either since hydraulics are totally the same. I have to go dig for PN but here, you can see PN on the top Of the ECU (its either the first eight or last 8 digits):

What do the COPO engine mounts look like? An where did you get them???

Went to their site an the parts don’t have very good descriptions an I found what looks to be a rear seat delete but just says trim panels.
