weight redux.
what all can you do to make your fat four door slim?
Re: weight redux.
Take out your seats, center console, every plastic piece of your dash, and basically everything plastic in you car or what ever can be unscrewed/unbolted. Only leave what you need. Carpet is not necessary to take out but it weighs about 10lbs maybe. OH! And the door panels.misfit4life wrote:what all can you do to make your fat four door slim?
Thing is going to sound like riding in a tin can once your done just to warn you. All n all you'll defiantly feel a little difference.
personally i would strip a car unless it was going to be ment for strictly racing/auto cross because its a real embarrassment when you wanna take out a lady or something haha.
Keep a seperate car handy!

no no no no haha cardboard door panels
i know i've got mine down to no interior, no heater, ac, ps etc, no evap, coilovers, glass hood, 1 seat, etc and its down to 2202 with me in it. the 15" bfg's put it up to 2210 and the 14" nittos are the 2202. once i pull the glass, all the wiring crap, fuel tank for a cell and all that crap should drop quite a bit more weight out of it.
