Post your corner weight scale pics!

I forgot that he did it. There's a guy in TX who also stripped his car, and posted photos here. I can't remember his name right now. I don't think it's miata_racer. If I remember right he theorized that a Prod/Prepared car can get down to 14xx precage, and had some numbers to back that up. Unless my scales are way off I can completely see it. There's still a ton of weight that can be pulled out. Heavy fenders, fuel tank, control arms, brakes, clutch, transmission,undercoating and intake manifold are all on my list to address.

Back on the scales next week after the recent reductions/additions should be close to the same weight just different distribution that will need to be addressed.

That is with 250 lb driver so 2085 very light on fuel. heavy godspeed radiator and Vibrant intercooler Id guess those two items are at least 25lbs heavier than stock. turbo system is not really that light eather. long runner manifold is like 18lbs. no top, 14 lb seats. brakes are 11.75" rotors with dynapro calipers (mini kit) and 11.44" rears. still lighter than stock.

Didn't realize that was with driver. What is your seat position like? We extended our controls (5'10" and 5'6" drivers) and were able to move our driving position back about 5". Not sure if that's legal for you. Definitely lighter seats are available. One piece or two piece rotors? I just purchased 11.75 rotors and there is a range from about 9lbs to 15lbs per side. Also, looks like you have some room to corner jack that thing a little bit for better balance.

track cars with a cage roll bar and more safety gear more fuel and less interior seem to be more balanced I guess. when I take all the track stuff out of my track car to convert to an autocross car it becomes nose heavy. Its faster around an autocross course even though it is nose heavy without all the track stuff though.

Semi gutted 91 with roll bar and hard top (naturally aspirated setup at the moment). 170 lb driver. Shooting to get the chassis under 2000lbs. That will be a stretch tho since I want to add more chassis stiffening mods.
with driver and 1/2 tank gas
w/o driver and 1/2 tank gas
cross weights (have alignment specs there just for quick reference)
