CBRD lightweight Titanium parts...

Ok,

well it turns out one of our good clients owns a rather large (aka factories in different places of the world) machining company... They work alot with Titanium...

I have been wanting to build some titanium parts for a long time... so... some things are coming...

First we have Lightweight Racing lugnuts... These should be completed this week, and I will post pics... I made them taper seat with longer hex head depth and open ended... there will be more thread engagement especially for those with longer ARP wheel studs...

They will also be reasonable.... apprx 280-300 dollars (normal sets are in the 450-800 dollar range)...

we also are going to do some tow-hooks, and probably a lightweight Ti battery kit with the battery laid down to low its weight....

ill post pics shortly..

cheers

cb

Ti exhaust mani! A Spec used to have one on their site but I can't find it any longer. But in reality, I would focus on little things that are fairly easy to produce yet would make a big difference weight wise.

i agree and would love one. but im sure the price will send most away from it. a Ti tubular K member would be amazing. but pricey im sure. im down though.

it will save you weight in 2 ways. 1. your car and 2. your pocket.
