RE: Weight Reduction 101
drag lite rims...skinnies.
sway bar<front...i guess coil overs
i heard there is 30lbs in the door supports?..
no stereo..
put a 100lb driver in car.
also figure in this too..rollcage/scattersheild/d/s safety loop subframes...will counter some of your weight loss.

Draglites, No spare tire. All sound deadening, all heat and sound insultaion off of firewall <---Not to easy to get to...trust me. Heater delete. fender wells, skinnie's up front, no side molding, door panels, all loose electrical connections, plexiglass windows, windshield. No back interior panels, rear seatbelts. Get manual rack and pinion. Aluminum radiator. Cruise control modual in drivers side front fender <---Also fun to get to...... And one of the more over looked things, cut your exhaust off before the rear axle. Thats like 30lbs worth of exhaust weight saved, and catless H/X pipe. Ive done almost all of these except like the plexiglass windows and manual steering(next mod) Oh and windsheild wiper delete(including all windsheild wiper drive train, motor etc.)
