Why not go with 15" diameter rear wheels? I didn't see brakes mentioned but if you have stock size rear brakes then 15" in back is the way to go. You will have more sidewall.

What rims are you using with the tubed slicks? Front skinny too? Hard to tell because the videos are far away. Since you already gutted it I'd recommend a carbon fiber hood and a lightweight (possibly relocated) battery. Did you already pull the front sway bar out? Those 3 things would...

Title should be changed to 13.0 with nitrous and 7mge! Nice job! Any pics of the car and engine?

I've been wanting to do the exhaust out the top of the hood like that. Can you please post if there's any issues for example with heat on the windshield or hood? Looks great as always.

Can you bump start it? Mine had a similar problem and I could bump start it, new starter was the end of that problem.

There is no factual limit, it is all a matter of opinion. Who says you even need a body? Who says you even need a motor? Can it be remotely controlled? :) There was no mention of it having to be running or requirements. What I said is absolutely true, you can do weight reduction until you reach...

Since nobody posted it yet and there was a lot of discussion about it, here is a direct link to the VIN decoding. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?47729-Data-Tag-VIN-Decoding-Information There's no limit to the weight reduction you can do. Everyone will do something...

Mine did, LSD is coded on the VIN and it spins both wheels ;) . 87 NA with no options except LSD. The page that decodes the VIN has all the information. I don't have a link to it though.

IIRC LSD was available as an option all by itself. You didn't need the sport package or need a Canadian model to have an LSD.

Yea maybe it will, it does have 8" tread width. The 6" min and 8" max confused me a little bit, but I guess since I'm getting a whole new setup I just need to match it to the tread width. Here's the 8" wide medium pad with 5.5 backspacing...

Lighter is better and the hoosier should fit well on it. Specs say 8" maximum rim for that tire. Next step up is 11.5 and I don't think I need that much tire. There's a 10.5 MT but I've looked up everything I can and it looks like it performs identical to the slightly smaller hoosier. My...

Can anyone tell me if these will work? I want to know if I need grinding/hammering/rolling/cutting/spacers/longer studs/different lugs and if I have other options. I believe I need longer studs and different lugs. Rear Plan: 15x7 with 4.5 backspacing Weld Racing RTS S71 (medium pad)...

A rule of thumb is that lexan is half the weight of glass. That being said, I'm not sure what the stock rear glass weighs and I didn't weigh my lexan before securing it to the hatch.

Yes I did it myself. I used a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade to cut the lexan. I haven't made door windows yet.

Yes I have many pictures but most of the time you can't tell the glass has been replaced. The only way you can really tell if it's glass or not is by knocking on it. Obviously on my setup I chose to have smaller windows and no trim so that's the biggest visual difference regarding the back...

Parking (especially parallel) and 3-point turns will be the hardest. Also the smaller diameter your steering wheel is the harder it will be to turn it. Take the belt off and try it. Find what YOU like better.

8' x 4' polycarbonate sheet is enough to do the rear, rear quarters, and partial side windows. Rear hatch glass is over 48" so a 4' x 4' square is not big enough. I used 1/8" thick grey tinted from mcmaster carr, it was a little over $200 including the freight shipping. You should use at least...

In your first post you have pictures of firewall before and firewall after.

I love what you did to the doors. I'm planning on doing that to mine soon. What was the extra metal on the firewall for? Is that just there to shield the cabin from heat? Thanks for sharing. I look forward to more updates.
