The secret to my lean weight is the rust holes that seemed to grow every year! I assume that's what Colin Chapman meant by "add lightness".</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe you should start by removing that massive Hurst shifter, I'm sure the Starsky and Hutch Museum will be glad to have it back. </div><div><br></div><div>Dustin</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device</div></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><!-- originalMessage --><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: D V via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> </div><div>Date: 1/9/17 10:31 AM (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: FOT <fot@autox.team.net> </div><div>Subject: [Fot] New Years Resolution: weight loss </div><div><br></div></div>This is just one of many resolutions but thought I would seek some advice here. I have a pretty well prepared spit racer that would like to shed some pounds for the new year. <br><br>He went on a diet in 2015 and lost about 60 lbs from his rear with the removal of some extraneous steel and going from a standard battery to a light weight Braille racing battery.<br><br>Currently he weighs 1578 lbs with no fuel. Corner weights in the following format of FL/FR RL/RR are 450/449 and 341/338.<br><br>The thought is to focus on his front this year. He already has a mini alternator and high torque starter (not sure the starter is any savings).<br><br>What would be your top 5 things to review/address? <br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Derek<br>_______________________________________________<br>fot@autox.team.net<br><br>http://www.fot-racing.com<br><br>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/nicholsondustin@yahoo.com<br><br><br></body></html>
