Re: Lightweight Modifications

Start by taking out you spare tire and jack (pray you dont get a flat) and if you want to take it further you can take out seats and door panels...Those are probably the most basic weight mods

Re: Lightweight Modifications

rip everything you can think of out back seats sounddeading spare tire jack all that A/C if you got it.
Lightweight stuff like Hood fenders trunk but best is take off rolling mass eg light rims axis maglight are real light spoon sports are super light and look dead sexy if i do say so myself.
I just put my C/F hood on tonigt dont feel anychange but looks hella sexy =)

Re: Lightweight Modifications

  • lightweight battery - get a 10lb battery and shave off 30-40lbs.
  • seats - can shave off about 40-60lbs
  • hood - can shave off about 30-50lbs
  • A/C - approx. 40lbs
  • exhaust - titanium ones weigh a meer 10lbs now
  • aftermarket intake - shaves off about 10-15lbs

Re: Lightweight Modifications

By removing the spare tire, jack, tools, backseat, front seat I shaved .3-.4 seconds from my quarter mile time. Pretty good.
