shed a little blood today... but i shaved almost 7lbs out of the car.

lightweight low draw starter installed, oem solenoid removed, oem wiring removed for starter, new wiring installed (shorter, less weight)... of course then i PET nylon sleeved the wire, heat shrunk it, and all that, but i have my "weight" limits when it comes to wiring.

car fired right up. later this week i'll get to fabbing my new lightweight battery tray (gonna make an aluminum riser and tie downs). that will kill another 18lbs.
