This is how the Z was weighed (exactly as pictured) except, thanks to Rob (Zya in CT), I installed this momo steering wheel, which was a super easy install with the mounting kit he provided. ---Thanks Rob, Sorry to see your Z get parted.--- Only bitch is the damn airbag light constantly going off (bulb will be pulled shortly) Here is what A convertible car looks like stripped from the convertible hatch door area-back. This is what saved all the weight. The top/frame itself is extremely heavy. All the brackets to keep it held in place are also pretty heavy. The Convertible hatch door & trunk lid probably weigh around 100lbs combined. =================================== This is my fuel system which I dont think I ever really showed pics of here. Something like 1300 hp capable aeromotive pump, controller unit(turns pump to fuel speed @ 2 psi using hobbs switch, -10AN lines, adjustable regulator, big ass -10AN filter. This is where the convertible Top is usually housed, covered by the convertible hatch door. Sitting quietly waiting for what i do next...
