Yea I've had my dash lit up like Times Square for years annoying but hey. I really had no idea that we with IDrive can check oil on our steering column like the non Idrive guys..interesting. Well time to start getting my dash and nav unit out. Thanks again and I'm sure I'll ask something else ..so forgive me |

you probably saw some of the speed holes i did and what material i removed. i took off the dash bar and removed unnecessary material. i also removed the passenger side dashboard and dremeled out the molded hardware. i also pried off the molded hvac ducting and drilled some holes. i drilled some holes in the leather parts of the dash that are covered by the trim between the a/c vents. i also deleted the passenger side cupholder. here is a breakdown of weight saved- -dash bar optomization- 1lb, 10oz. -double hump to single hump with speed holes- 10lbs, 6oz. this weight figure includes 1lb, 3oz of ducting and insulation, and 4.9lbs for the passenger airbag. -radio is 6lbs, 6oz. -idrive screen is 1lb, 10oz. -idrive controller 7oz -passenger cupholder 8.8oz. there was also a ton of thick insulation behind the dash (i couldn't get it all) that yielded 4lbs, 15oz. all together, this project yielded about 24lbs.

I have a 'dilemma' supercharge the 7.3 or delete the diesel? I don't need to tow anything more than my 5500k lb boat so either truck would work fine for my needs. I am leaning towards the SC'd 7.3 just because a big all blower on a big engine sounds fun and a bit more unique than a deleted diesel.

i would have considered the raptor R if it was close to my price range, but its not even close. this diesel at least gets m3 gas mileage... i can't imagine the supercharged 7.3 getting more than 10mpg with mixed driving.

I love your build thread and your obsession with removing weight from the car. I have a question, in the future are you planning to install a roll cage or a half roll cage?

i had a tire blow my first time out since the build. i was only three laps in and still trying to find the rhythm. only got down to a 1:35. not even a pb. i did get some useful feedback from a professional. i'm hoping to be back in the spring.
