Did you all hear about what's taking place at the Falcon's complex this morning?!

 

[ScampMike]

So I was doing some research on the weights of the seats. Look like if i do these buckets, combined for all 4 buckets, the total weight savings over the factory is gonna be 28 lbs. versus the front and rear benches. It'll actually be a tad more, as the bucket seats include the 2-3 lbs for the seat belts and they include sliders. the bench seat weights dont.

hey - it all adds up - 100lbs is worth a 1/10 in the 1/4 mile

It all came down to super bowl experience. Brady had been there plenty of times before, he KNEW what to do. Falcons, not so much.

I disagree, this came down to the Falcon's thinking they had it won at half time and failing to win the game, instead they tried not to LOSE and it bit them.

yep, i've got a few other tricks up my sleeve as well. im hoping to save on weight in areas most people dont think off, goal is to have this BB dart weigh the same or less than a factory small block dart, but with full interior and cage

Another way of saying what I said. IMO

The owner hired a CPR trainer to come in and teach them all the Heimlich maneuver so that next time, maybe they wont choke to death

Yep, I guess cheating does pay off! 4 game suspension meant NOTHING!

yep, part of the reason i think they should have been banned from the post season for a couple years

yea - if it's a working unit... why the heck do you need a tire balancer?

It's painted, a little slow going as I'm trying to work around the weather. Hard to keep temp in there with an exhaust fan going , still waiting on a window to get here.

He demo'd it, works fine. I have a tire machine I bought way back for doing M/C tires when I had a little shop going working on bikes. Still do some for friends. The unit is really good shape, doesn't look like it's been killed in a tire shop and has the attachments for M/C wheels.

nice score then - I would think four bills is good

 

[dukeboy440]

so as of now. based on published weights, I'm looking at 417 lbs total weight savings BEFORE the cage and the front air dam. That's also not counting the savings in the rear suspension either. which im guessing will be around 20 lbs.
