How much does the supra weigh? Warped head and cams?

ya that sounds like alot of material to be removed but i would definately ask around some more. im sure someone can give you a more definate answer on the cam question? call a few toyota dealers, call a few machine shops, research the other supra forums.


lightening it up? , im still researching it..., one guy i read got his down to 2750lbs but i dont know how he did it.. i think lighter seats, lighter wheels, and gutting the interior, ac removal, but man i love the seats and ac is nice sometimes , its all a trade off, not sure im gonna go that far. carbonfiber everything...

also....if someone can find a fiberglass hood, i know they have carbon, but who wants to pay 700$ for a hood plus 2 something shipping. And fiberglass fenders, doors, and getting a lexan window made for the rear hatch would save quite a bit of weight. plus removing the metal bumpers that are under the plastic could save a lot. And removing the power window motors, rear wiper(im doing this soon, but mostly cause its ugly and i dont use it), and all the things under the hood mentioned. the AC system in my monte totalled up to over 75lbs, thats a lot just for not being chilly in the summer. But im sure the biggest chunk of weight is that cast iron straight 6 under the hood lol.

you can always do what the pro teams do when they build a car. um in the real world id pull out the spare tire and tools, back seats, replace front seats, take out my subs, buy some light wheels, cf hood, remove power steering and ac, pulleys and flywheel, driveshaft, cf fenders???, and light weight battery. also if you remove all the dead bodies and hidden pot, that would take off a couple hundred lbs.
