Love to know what you got the weight down to. How often to you get to race it? Roll bar pics? Stock fuel tank or cell? I race mine on a dirt circle track and have learned the fuel level with stock tank needs to be 1/2 or more or it cuts out in the corners.

Quite a bit, considering this is a Lemons car - mostly suspension. I've added the list of mods to the original post.

We haven't had a chance to put it on a scale yet, but we're guessing somewhere between 2700 and 2800 lbs. I'm just as curious as you are!

So far, we haven't driven her much. Before the track day at Thunderhill last Fri, I've only driven it up and down the driveway/trailer/street a few times. The next time we take her out will be at the Lemons event in Sept. After that, it will probably be another Thunderhill track day before the Dec event in Sonoma. We've been much more focused on getting her prepped for the event.

We're using the factory fuel tank. I didn't notice the fuel cutting off in the corners, even near empty. You must be pushing quite a bit of Gs through those turns! I might consider buying a fuel cell once we get a handle on the ins and outs of the event so we can minimize time in the pits.

Sure! She's wearing a set of 5Zigen FN01RC's in this picture. I bought them from a friend who had them on his 240SX for autocross.
Size & offset: 17x9 +35
Tires: 225 45 R17

She also came with a full set of Enkei 17x9s (offset unknown) and 350Z "Enthusiast" wheels 17x7.5 +30 (4x front wheels)

Thanks! I think the white on white look works well. These are too nice to run during the event, though. She'll be rolling on 17x9 Enkei's with 255 40 R17 tires.
