Frame mods- weight savings

[Louie L.]

In order to repackage my turbo system and loose some weight off the nose of my GN, I have began some serious chassis mods. I have removed the frame rails in front of the motor in order to replace it with a cm loop. I have also removed the radiator,fan, hoses, core support , water pump, turbo oil pump.

To loose weight in other parts of the car, I have gutted the dash, wiring harness, e brake pedal assembly. I have also replaced the stock steering column with a light weight TRZ unit.

I'll be installing the loop in few days.

[HighPSI]

Maybe, if he ever finishes it! That turbo looks a LOT bigger than the X275 88mm that PTE calls it

[Louie L.]
