First has anybody ever cut the foam in their seat to lower the seat height?
2nd question has anyone ever drilled holes in their ITP series .190 wheels
to lighten them up?

 

Hey talonhawk i don't know about your questions,but that is one nice tb you got and thats cool how you got ac nerfs and heel guads.

 

Thanks Clover!
I'm always doing something to my TB. Its turned into a hobbie![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i was thinking of cuttin the foam down on mine too but i think drilling holes wouldnt be to smart

 

I wasn't sure how safe it would be to drill some holes in them either so I thought
maybe somebody might have done this and could say yes or no.
I'm thinking about using an electric carving knife on my seat foam. Anybody have any ideas
on what would give a nice clean cut on a big piece of foam?

 

The electric carving knife is what the pros like to use. Might be worthwhile going down to an upholstry shop and seeing what types of foams they have. I have a feeling that if you start cutting into the stock foan that your seat will feel like a Yamaha seat. Might be better off getting a thinner, better cushioned foam

 

There is some company that cuts rims for drag racing, they have a web site but I cant remember what it is. I would be afraid to use them for anything other than drag racing.

 

1: Sure you can cut your seat so fit your butt. Just save it for down the road if you want to change it and put it back on. Gop works well, to glue it back.
2: No-way never drill the rims, just buy a lighter tire than you will save pounds. Drilling a rim only will make it weak, and you will not even save 3-oz. Be safe not cheap, its your life.



later

 

Yeah, I agree on the rims. I would never think of doing that for any reason, even strictly drag racing. Talonhawk, I have some words for you. Aluminum, chromemoly, and titanium, but they all have nice price tags on them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Oh well!! It was just a thought but I had to ask. Money really was not an issue, I mean
considering all the money that I've put into this thing anyway, so I guess that a new set
of wheels are in my future[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thanks for the replies!
