adding weight

[Chris Wire]

Chris,
Did you get your design from a Black Widow or a Brown Recluse? Seriously, aren't you afraid of all that weight up that high in the car? Hope you've got some outside mirrors, 'cause that one in the middle won't do you much good.

The competitor in me says I should be worried about the extra weight and the placement up high, but the Dad in me says, "No worries, mate!"

Outside OEM mirrors are generally useless I have found (although I am leaving mine on). I like the Longacre 17" mirrors as they seem to have the best optics. Just a tad behind the Allview mirrors I had in my last car. Truly the best just can't find them anymore.

With the Longacre, I can generally see from the right side of my helmet to outside the passenger window. A small convex mirror on the left down tube takes care of the driver's side.

I hear the weight added to the 89 CRXsi is 110lb`s.
Is this correct?
CRXsi 07 NER Scott. I don`t like figure skating
Wait I just saw the Roll cage on that car. Oh my Fin God. Nice job dude.

Yes, the CRX Si went from 2140lbs to 2250lbs.

Which one, with Anthony and me? No, and that's my fault: my car is still up on jackstands waiting for some new struts, and my crew chief has gotten himself totally entwined in a Pro MX-5 team while Anthony has got his life wrapped around a Grand Am prep effort. So, I'm on the priority level somewhere between slim and none... - GA

2250 lbs., egad man.

Well at least I can put to use at least one of the extra three spare donut tires I have laying around. - And now the once designated track-day-use-only passenger seat and belts can stay in for racing. Perhaps I can simply strap my wife in, she weighs about 100lbs, AND she's a great co-pilot.

Also for the NX/Sentras... I would imagine as more cars are built and raced in IT, that more support and knowledge will aid this platform's quest for podium finishes despite any inherent shortcomings. Funny, Gayle found a completely stock hardtop NX yesterday and send me a link that read - "Great start for an ITA car..." If I already raced a Nissan I might be tempted to jump on it {hint, hint, nudge, nudge}
