Guys,
1. Does anyone have any comments about swaping out the stock Kmember for the tubular Spohn version? I'm working on losing weight in the 3rd gen SPO car and wondered if anyone will acknoldge it is stong enough for road racing abuse.
2. Has anyone swaped over to the Rack and pinion sterring (Pinto) for weigh reduction?

3. What are the best headers for 3 gen vs. tranny combo for clutch fork clearence issues.
Currently use T56,LT1 version with Heddman standard not shortys.

Just need some quick easy responses on these topics.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with SPO rules to know what's legal, but the best weight reduction is to remove everything that's not necessary and if it has to be there, replace it with something made of AL.

Spending money is not the best way to reduce weight in these cars, spending time pays a lot more dividends. Most every manufacturer that makes something "lightweight" isn't that much lighter and a lot of composite companies list the weight of their products and it's usually way off (heavier).

Rack setups are a pipe dream in these cars unless you build custom spindles with shorter steering arms or you buy an expensive circle track rack and you have to custom fab your mount. Oil pan clearance will be a problem as well unless you cut the firewall and shove the engine way back.

Write up a little more info on what your goals are and maybe we can point you in the right direction.
