emoska69 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 not really a wieght saving but doing a battery relocation to the trunk transfers your weight balance by about 1%helps out when your engine weighs more than the whole car and look into a company called braille. they make super light betterys. and non of you mentioned the weight of your wheels. unsprung weight i.e. anything below the srpings is way more detrimental to your cars performance than sprung weight is. mount your seat as low as possible to bring down center of gravity a hair. take out all of the electric seatbelt gaynes. your not 80 and its not 1990 anymore so you really dont need it. take off your rear bumper. shave door handles on all three passenger doors. put a string in there incase u need to open it. extra nuts and bolts holding shit together add up too. if there is four bolts and itll work with 1-2 or even just a zip tie then do it. take out your hood latch and put in some pins. remove the cable too. same with trunk. change out the semi truck style steering wheel. youll be suprised how heavy the stock steering wheels are. heat and ac units and duct work. run an open downpipe. lol some of this shit is rediculous but it really does add up. Goodluck. oh and invest in a air chisel. makes sound deadening easy to remove. Flame Shield ON!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gizmo 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2011 Mine is completely gutted except for the front door panels. I only have my bucket seat in there as well. Took off all the roof liner, rear doors are stripped, carpets removed, trunk is gutted, dash is stripped, ACs ripped out, and insulation is getting ripped out next week. I want to get a stereo system though. Driving without tunes gets homo as fuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
