Next on the list was to get rid of some dead weight. We pulled the car into the shop and put our trusty Accuset scales to work. We made sure the car had a full tank of gas after our roadtrip, making sure we had consistent fuel weights included for future sessions.
We carefully place the scales under the lift and lowered the car down to get a base weight.
Total : 3,476lbs LF 679 / RF 653 / LR 1071 / RR 1073
We popped the hood and removed the spare tire and existing tools, as they likely won’t fit our future BBK and we have some HRE’s on the way.
Total : 3,437 LF 649 / RF 633 / LR 1081 / RR 1074
A 39lb drop in weight off the front of the car.
Next up we grabbed a few wrenches and removed the disc changer, rear seat, and floormats.
The end result was a total weight loss of 74lbs. Not bad for less than a half hours work and no money spent.
Here at Titan we have the pleasure of working on cars from all over this country, and even cars from countries in other continents. It’s not an uncommon site to see a transporter delivering the cars as this is the most efficient method. We use Exotic Car Transporter almost exclusively for all transports, as they’re local to us and offer world renowned service and care for some of the finest vehicles in the world. This week one of their newest trucks showed up, a single car enclosed box truck that elevates to allow the car to be removed. What was inside the truck……not a Supra, not a Porsche, rather V6 swapped Flat Black TC owned by Mike Lipson, one of our employees. The car arrived unharmed, although it’s probably about time Mike finished the car and got it running, more updates to come when he finally does.
The 2JZ-GTE Project Prowler is coming along nicely. Here is a picture of the interior and the Motec being tuned.
Video : Have a sneak peak of the Prowler in action!
We have shoe-horned in a 2JZ-GTE with a Precision 71 GTS Dual Ball Bearing Turbo and many off the shelf Titan parts, including our TMS cam gears.
19″ front and 20″ rear HRE wheels clearing Brembo calipers and rotors.
Look for more to come as we keep you updated on this serious street cruiser!
