New & Shiny: 3.2 pounds.
Awesome.
Mounts:
Old & Rusty Pair: 7.65
New & Shiny Pair: 4.25
There's a bit over 16 pounds off the rear end... wish your girl could say that?! buahahahaha

It's about that time....
We have the brand new Megan coilovers (again) installed, The Brake Man front brakes (5.5 pound rotors!!) going upfront to replace the Willwoods we ran last year, the 15" blue TE37's (9.2 pounds), Hoosiers, and we are waiting on a carbonfiber roof to come in any day now ...
She should be back on the ground for our open house Saturday...

Yes guys, sorry the rear brakes are still the Willwood's and we only changed the fronts because of the weight difference... and they look way cooler. 
Anyhow, got some more stuff in!
Dave Buschur hooked us up with their beautiful front mount once again - same exact style as we ran last season... Last year there were a few things that needed changing, and this piece was not one of them. Thanks again Dave!
And if you look in the background, under that short block (without holes
) there's a completely refreshed transmission from Jon at TRE. Anyone who has seen the videos knows that thing took such a beating last year and withstood all that abuse... And Jon has always taken great care of us! Two thumbs up for TRE!
And we also had AMS's carbon fiber roof come in.
We are just getting ready for the install this week and if it was anyone but Cory cutting her up... I'd be nervous! But no fears, the Ricer will be unscathed and a whole lot lighter! When everything is said and done, I'll try and get everything that came out and get an exact number, but I'm going to guess about 40-50 pounds will be shaved off. I'll be sure to get pictures of the 'cutting' as long as I'm here for it!
A few more "big" orders are going to be trickling in this month as well and I'll post up the pictures as they show up. No motor just yet, but Emery has been spending a lot of time on the phone with Mr. Buschur lately...
