Cars that get you all hot and bothered

[Dave]

While that cage is awful, I'd like to know how they made a 3600lb car 2700lbs. That's pretty light isn't it? I have heard of some guys swapping out the 2zj for something aluminum and 4 cyl, is that what they did?

Hope this person doesn't get in a side impact, because that single bar without and support is a little scary, but I really don't know much about cages.

Car looks like a hard top, so it was probably starting closer to 3400 lbs. Start throwing on CF stuff everywhere possible and tearing everything else out and you'll be surprised how much weight you can shed. The problem is that there are diminishing returns for your money when you get into fabricating CF panels and such. I'm also not sure how he got it down to 2700, but I wouldn't call b.s. on him since my non-turbo weighed in just over 3200 with no weight reductions.
He's stuck with the 2J, but has switched over to a single turbo setup, so that may have shed a few pounds. I'm pretty impressed that he seems to have cut a chunk out of the firewall and moved the engine back behind the front wheels, making it more of a mid-engine car. V-mount IC/radiator setup is a nice step away from "normal" too.
