My RS loses 74lbs the hard way - Pics
Every piece of factory wire and the entire dash was stripped from my RS. The net result is 74lbs dropped. A custom race harness is being installed along with a Motec ECU and ADL3 display on a custom CF dash.

The RSR Individual throttle bodies have been installed along with the lightweight alternator and cooling system. This drops 25lbs off the motor.

The next step is to install 09 WC intake cams and a polycorbonate windshield.

Although this step was necessary to achieve your goal, I don't know if I would have the intestinal fortitude to witness the actual carnage of having my car stripped down like that!

Cheers to you, sir!
