Weight Reduction Tips
I was wondering if you guys had any tips to weight reduction besides the AC and going on a diet. Like any metal parts you can take off that have no real use. Any Tips would help thanks.

Re: Weight Reduction Tips
PS I saw some carbon fiber fenders on ebay...if they are carbon fiber LOOK, then they're not really cf, just metal with cf paint job...real cf fenders would reduce weight alot too. cf hoods are sweet too.

Re: Weight Reduction Tips
Eh, taking the back seats, doesnt take off much weight as it looks (what? 3 pounds), plus if you do take 'em out and leave it blank back there, then it will look to ghet0 (IMO)

Re: Weight Reduction Tips
Plus, im guessing your car is a daily driver? And you dont really want a all star drag car, so why would you want to take out the AC, back seats, stereo? I suggest you do some lil stuff, maybe a CF hood, fenders, lighter rims, maybe loose the spare, ect... I mean its not like your trying to race kevin or anything like that
 besise, I belive kevin still has his AC on his car, and still gets to run that fast....
