Dec. 4 Champion of Champions @ GCFG

[Prodigy]

are you planning on gutting the car? Or is it already gutted? I haven't ever really given ur car a once over lol

It's gutted.. spare tire, jack, sub, amp, carpet, rear seats, center console, and usually the rear deck + seat belt assemblies..
It's a good 130lbs. out of the car... + another 50lbs saved by the weight of the wheels compared to the stock stuff.
I always toss the stuff back in the next day until the next autox..

i'm not sure, but that'll bump you into SM or even Mod. The weight saved isn't worth the power disadvantage you'll have in the other classes. Keep your interior in and race FSP. If I race next season, it'll be nice to have another protege for competition.

**edit - see below

Street Modified

Consult the rule book for details of the Street Modified rules. Street Modified inherits all allowances from Street Touring and Street Prepared. The following does not attempt to list all additional modifications that are legal in this class, it just lists a few popular mods that are common in Street Modified, but not allowed in Stock, Street Touring or Street Prepared:
Removed rear seats.

Beyond Street Modified

Consult the rule book for Prepared and Modified categories. The following list is just a reminder of a few popular mods that are not allowed in Stock, Street Touring, Street Prepared or Street Modified, they will put you into Prepared/Modified classes where you will be competing with race cars:

Weight reduction not explicitly allowed in SM: e. g. gutted interior, removed heater, wipers, lights.

So, am I allowed to take out the bottom part of the rear seats? It's in the owners manual for the pro5 under the "Folding down the rear seats" section...

yep

 

[Rogue]

yes, but there's nothing for that in the sedans. so taking out any part of the rear seat bumps it into SM

 

[aMaff]

And that's why P5's are awesome...I guess...(ugh)

I'm not too sure anymore.
I don't think we could think of him any lower... It's as low as it goes already.

 

[Velocifero]

I will. (lol2)

[aMaff]

That's just more insurance money in my pocket going towards a turbo.

I guess now is the time to kiss and make-up (tradition for GACC)...
Scott's the coolest person in the world.
