Weight Deduction

[severous01]

civic, lancer, g5/cobalt, fit, versa, corolla, and too many others to think about....o, there is one more...the smart car lol

any way, you got a lot more to go, you still got:
carpets
non-essencial glass can be changed to lexan or poly
carbon fiber or fiberglass door skins
CF hatch
headliner removed
door panels with sheetmetal or fiber
center console
lightweight seats
FG dash
radio and speakers, amp if you got it can go
excess wiring can be trimmed
wires re-routed and trimmed (instead of a switch on left and right side windows you can move to the center)
replace steel parts with aluminum
trim up control arms and knuckles...

there's tons of stuff you can still do to reduce weight. not saying any of it will be cheap or look good, but you still got a long way to go before you got no options left.

Not sure if you were talking to me. I don't care THAT much about weight, maybe if it was a 100% race car. But we all have our own preference, I personally think its very tacky to run around with plastic off, and carpet up if your using it as a daily driver.

id isn't trying to lose weight, honestly i think he just enjoys driving a rattle-bucket around. keep the speakers and stereo, but take off door panels to save weight?
