I've never understood why the Braile isn't stock in all sports cars. Its a big weight savings and a battery lasts a long time.... Dead weight pointless..

as for the flywheel that seems unclear to me. I'm hesistant to deviate from stock in the drivetrain. I had several light flywheels and clutch in previous cars like the Fidanza and ClutchNet, an excellent mod for an powered car in particular.

Those Braille Batteries are great, they actually tip the scales just over 11 pounds. I have an Odyssey 680 which is just around 15 pounds in my MR2 Spyder. We sell both batteries; the Odyssey is cheaper but not quite as scant.

Braille/Recaro also offers a fixed back seat customized to your dimensions and cloth/color preferances. These dont weigh much more than their batteries.

I removed my entire front trunk and plastic cladding in efforts to cut the weight.

The Spyder is about as stable on the freeway as a cigar boat on the Bering Sea...

Next time I'll just hit the treadmill.

PS: Has anyone weighed a Boxster 986/987 Seat?
