Down, but not out

[DOHCstunr]

thats all weight i pulled off the rotating assembly.

i used the oem spacer from a 1.6l to get rid of the balance shaft sprocket that goes under the crank sprocket.

Left BS weighed 3lbs, 7.4oz and the right was 2lbs, 6oz., the pulley was 6oz For a total of 6lbs, 8oz

not a bad weight savings. i think my chromoly flywheel was only 7lbs lighter than stock.

with the aluminum crank pulley, b/s delete, adn light flywheel i think i'm weighing in at close to 18 or 19 lbs lighter rotating assembly than stock. thats not factoring in the no a/c.

car s driving smooth as ever.

:idea: i'll give my next update in about a week and reveal my next major mods. which are already in progress.
