My 2017 new years resolution is to loose weight...on my car lol.

Yes the subframe should shave a good 25lbs or more off the car. I've studied the various subframes out there and it shouldn't be too complicated and I have a spare stock subframe to make a jig from as well so it's not like I have to pull the car apart to take this on.

The exhaust should save another 10lbs or so. Anyone want a Thermal R&D?

I initially got the welded center diff on my Jack's build over the 4-spider as I was tapped out on funds with the build. The intention was always to replace it at a later date.

Welded center diffs are great in two aspects; 1) grip off the line, 2) strength.

On the other hard, despite what anyone says, turning sucks, always. It's easier on the transmission but plays havoc on everything else, my rear axle supply is dwindling and I'm down one rear diff. Of the axles I've broke, there is noticeable wear in the CV cups from the constant binding that happens because of it.

I'm buying the hardened cross shaft from Tim Zimmer(TMZ) and a local friend of mine has a cnc mill to do the machine work on the housing.
