** Low Priority ** How much lighter do I want to get? Well considering I am weighing in at 805 with driver weight and minimum is 750, I would like to lose aroung 55lbs. I wonder if the billit aluminum QRE Invader steering knukles would work on my car without major modifications? I may go to 494 power someday, but since I have 3 good Kawi engines, I dont think that will come real soon. Bill Schmidt (fat parts suck!)

Drop the battery--or go smaller. Remold body parts. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jan Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 1, 2006 2:19:53 PM Subject: Re: [F500] weight issues? Tubing is all steel. Uprights are all steel. I think shocks are all steel. Fiberglass has been repaired numerous times. I know the nose is rediculously heavy for its small size. Car weighs at 605 with fuel, battery, coolant, oil.

Anyone out there be able to give me a clue why my 88 Red Devil is 85 lbs heavier than the latest QRE Invader? My car even has the lighter Kawi engine. Someone please point me in the right direction. I autocross only, will probably never road race due to limited funds.
