I'd be interested in doing this mod (hate the feel and jerkiness of the stock clutch), but I also don't want to snap any axles. As it is, I can drop the clutch at 6 grand and launch like crazy (1.67 60's). But I still never get any wheelspin...

6k drop? thought that was bad? do you hold it steady at 6k or jus rev it up to 6k?

while doing the delete on my cutn edg project we stumbled on an alternate method that saves you the trouble of locating a new plug bolt and washers. i posted it here.

It's funny how great minds think alike... I was just in this area the other day looking for stuff to remove ( ) and I was able to eliminate a few metal brackets to save a pound or so... and even eliminated a hose and a metal hose for the coolant going to the TB... when I saw all these "extra parts" for the clutch MC to SC... I thought... why can't we just replace all that with 1 line from the MC to the SC... does that thing bolted to the slave cylinder even do anything? It looks like a filter or something... and then I run across this thread... very cool!!! I'll be doing this soon.

While planning my battery relocate, I removed the starter from the top... but then again, I have a LOT more room to work with.

It's held in place by Velcro underneath.. it's took every corner I can throw at it... high G turns, 6g hard launches, hit your head against the roll bar stops... the battery doesn't move...

Oh yeah, and both bumper beams were removed long ago .

I started with JUST the AC idler (1lb) and shorter belt... then progressed to no belt for JUST winter (frees up hp lost to rotation of 2 lb pulley).... THEN the OUTER magnet pulley (1lb of static weight)... to removing the whole AC.... I have an idea for next summer... but that is a long time away... so right now I am enjoying the 20 lb weight reduction up front... feels awesome.
