Good call Richard. Exactly. I want to remove as much rear weight as
possible and removing front weight MAY hurt my handling. I tried running
my car with a small battery (located frontwards and low) instead of the
heavy monstrosity that came with the MR2 and found I developed a lot
more push.
So, I took off the extra heavy aftermarket muffler, and today, in fact
minutes ago, have takenan extra step to reduce rear weight. You can see
the preliminary results at the Divisional. 8-)
