See, once again you're headed down the wrong path. Yes, I'm 43 and proud to have survived the 80's.

Another piece of advice..... get out of the hourly workforce as soon as an opportunity arrises, be it in 10, 20, or 30 years. Then you'll have time to work and play at the same time, like me and a bunch of other old farts around here

True. I dont like to feel bullied by the big boys but i have respect. You geezers are the mustang yodas. Since this is a street/track car ill take your advice and keep the bumper.

I'll buy a punctuation for $200 Alex.

Listen Skywalker, I built an 85 hatch while you were in diapers that ran low 10's N/A and weighed about 2800 lbs with a cage, but I didn't do it with stupid things like removing a 5lb part that could save your life.

Guys on here have forgotten more than you will ever know about these cars. I'll chalk up your arrogance to your age and immaturity, but that only goes so far. Keep it up and you'll find yourself on the outside looking in real quick.

My main theory was from an idea i had. The japanese s13 240sx was a 4cyl turbo that weighed 2535 lbs. While its american version weighed 2915, being the same car non turbo, which should weigh less. Because of less safety features and thinner glass. I thought heck if the japanese can do it so can i. Just me being young reckless and obsessive i guess

Speaking of your life. As a Geezer, I've always wondered if it was true that you young guys live your lives a quarter mile at a time (or half a mile, or mile, or whatever...and always from a roll, never from a dig)? I've heard that nothing else matters: not you parents mortgage, not trips to the candy store, not your Driveclub PS4 racing team and all their bull. And that for those ten seconds or less, You're free?

Any truth to that?

Something tells me that it isn't just us "old geezers" you don't seem to have any luck with.

It's because Facebook is populated largely by children and we all know as a general rule, that most "kids" are for lack of a better description....stupid (present company excluded MikeH686 ).

Friendly advice. If you wanna around and chest bump with your bros on Facebook, then feel free to ham it up on there. Most people of normal intelligence don't take that scene very seriously anyway. Of course, if you want to actually learn what really makes the wheels on your car go round and are looking for answers to the hard questions...spend your time here learning and listening instead of flapping your gums. Let's be frank....if you were as smart as you you seem to think you are, you wouldn't be here asking silly questions like how to remove your bumper brace in the quest for weight savings.

It's better to remain silent and have people suspect you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I'll admit it I removed my front bumper during my tear down and that thing did not go back in but that was solely due to me forgetting about it and to lazy to put it back in. Thanks @Gearbanger 101 for excluding me from your comment haha taco for you!
