how far have you gone n weight reduction on your street car. by this i mean i have tags n drive it on the street daily. post pics if u have them lookn 4 ideas for my car
Took off door panels (in my Sedan front and back), rear seats, deck panel, headliner, dome light, removed all panels in trunk, spare tire, jack, front passenger seat, a pillar molding, kick panels, center console, e brake console. That's about it.
man i would hate to have to put all that back. i wanted to keep my interior looking nice so i only took out the spare tire, tools, cargo covers (from my hatch), and my passenger seat. doesnt sound like much but all that weighs about 100lbs.
i took the whole interior out except 2 front seats, 2seat belts, dash, 2 floor mats,
i took out even the heater core
i just left the dash and cluster in,
i have a 90 hatch and will be putting a gsr leather dash with gsr obd1cluster and i am not sure what seats but i will also have sparco harnesses
my car is veeeery light
but im delaying working on it i think to buy another mercedes like the one i rolled
i got a 91 hatch and i took out back seats, spare tire, tools, carpet, center consol (my stereo is electrical taped in place ;\) looks like shit but i shaved off around 100-150 lbs which make sup for my fatass.
I just scraped up all of the sound deadening crap form my 94 hatch. Not real hard to do, but time consuming. Just take up the carpet and use a long flat head screw driver and start peeling it up. I put it all in a trash bag, probably weiged 25 to 30 pounds. Good time to pressure wash your carpet too. U could also leave the carpet out it ways a ton..
How about weight addition.....I have 2 10's, amp, spare tire, clothes, a/c, lots of cd's, jumper cables, heavy wings west kit, jack, star wrench, and i bet there is more that i just cannot think of.
Only pulled out crap I didn't need. Power steering and all it's plumbing, the entire A/C system... condenser, compressor, dryer, cores, pipes, weighed a ton. I also dropped a few pounds when I put my headers in. Stock manifold is HEAVY, pitched it and took a chunk out of the sidewalk. Also got aftermarket wheels that weigh about 4 to 5 pounds less at each corner.
