I totally agree. When you say serious power what do you mean. 300-400? When you are sub 2000 and have tons of power that would be scary. Don't forget that if you are putting down some power you are also going to want a rear-end that will hold it. That will add another 50-100lbs unless you spend the 2k on the guru one.



At 400rwhp and 2000lbs would be insane...



Or you could just build a v8...but we won't go there while in nopistons.com...


lol, don't worry I got it covered.

Yeah 78-79 is the only 1st gen u will ever find that was made light because they had no power mirror/window, only power hatch & a.c.
You're on the money there. SA bumpers don't weigh that much, the brackets are the heavy part.

If you could find one a jap-spec SA22C would be the lightest to start with. You will save 10-11 kg's with a C/F hood

A local guys has your hood, it is insanely light. Do you have any additional bracing on the hood though?
