Replaced the e clip for my boost tap. Still wondering how I lost it while removing the manifold, it's somewhere in my garage I'm sure. Been held on with wire for a few weeks looking ghetto

Yeah I had some family engagement and couldn't make it labor day. I'm planning on going on the 24th, the car is ready to go

Finally ordered an ac delete pulley. Exciting, I think the ac system weighs about 40 pounds

Arguably the definitive race car mod... real commitment. Did you ever get lightweight lug bolts? I'm going from a 30mm iron to 28mm titanium.

I haven't, still using normal lugs. I've came close but the weight savings is pretty marginal.

Unsprung weight multiplied by 10... if mine come by Friday I'll do the maths.

I did compare my sets but I cannot for the life of me remember the difference. I want to say .75oz and 1.5oz per lug, but that's a whisper of a guarantee

Do you do any track driving or notice any difference during hard cornering?

Hey if you pull that A/C setup intact, I may be an interested buyer.

Honestly I was planning on just cutting it out. The condenser has seem it's fair share of rocks and I don't have to remove the core support doing it that way. I don't think you'd want the condenser in the shape it's in. I can give you the compressor though if you want to source a condenser separately though, it's been used less than 20 times since owning the car lol
