Love your build! You've got great taste and the titanium bolts are just over the top. #envious

So, I got some more Ti nuts and bolts show up




Here's what I've replaced so far, mostly under the hood and non structural.



Even the battery terminal and hold down nuts

A pair of discontinued status hockenheim Kevlar/suede seats should further shed some pounds from the F.

Ron,

Just kidding. Love what you've done so far. I may have to start a build thread soon. My exhaust is here but, still waiting on a number of things from Japan.

What's your reasoning behind the bolts/nuts? Curious minds wanna know.

Main reason is weight savings, and kind of sets the engine bay apart from others. And I had a bunch of them layin' around. But it's getting out of hand now cause I ended up ordering more and they're not cheap!

LOL......I can imagine it's $$$. Curious to know how much weight savings you get if you ever get around to weighing them. I can't imagine more then 5 lbs.

Oh yeah, so far it can't even be a couple of pounds, haha! But it all adds up, or should I say subtracts down
