Im going to be doing some dieting to my camaro come next spring and was wondering if anyone had any other ideas for me, i have looked at that list a ton of times.
1) back seats, mats
2) front seats, mats, installing race seats
3) entire exhaust (catback, y pipe, cutouts) to just mufflers off headers
4) AC
5) all the emission stuff
6) racing rims with new rubber (15x5 fronts so i can DD)
What else could i do thats fairly cheap and will still allow me to DD? i figured all this would take off 250-300 pounds.
as i stated ive read that sticky many times however im not sure if i can do anything else so i can still drive my car daily, alot of the safety stuff i want to keep.
well your stuck between a rock and a hard place ....it will be hard to have both light weight and dd safety . you can only go so far till your spending money on light weight stuff k-member, a-arms,ect and a lot of people dont want to drive without their bumper supports and hvac and door bars
battery relocation to the trunk would take a dent out of your numbers . abs , power steering , the stuff under your carpet . saftey stuff like mentioned front and rear bumpers , bars in doors , air bags . also the 15s assuming they are weld or similar weight should take another good chunk vs. factory wheels .

Yeah I'd get rid of the power steering assembly. I run on skinnies all the time and its not bad at all. Especially with the AC/HVAC out, tubular K member, no front bumper support, LTs took some weight off, solid motor mounts, lighter trans.
There is alot of weight that can be taken out of these cars, i would also look at that panal under the steering column above your legs, that sucker is heavy, you can fab up something light & paint it, that small hatch in the trunk area is worth alittle, anything little that you can find to take out, do it, it'll add up, 300-400 lbs. shouldn't be too hard if you really look, that'll put your weight between 3000-3100 lbs. without a driver, thats pretty light for these cars IMO. this is what i would take out.
All AC components
PS
All smog stuff/air pump ect.
Spare/jack
Carpet insulation
Plastic panel under coulumn
All seats, replace with race seats
Drag light wheels
Front sway bar
Re-locate battery too trunk
Remove exhaust, bullets after LTs
There is alot of plastic panals all over that can be removed, it may only add up to 20-30 lbs., but thats 20-30 lbs. less, just DON"T remove that air damn for the radiator.
I'm sure you can find another 50+ lbs. on little stuff. You should invest in some SFCs at the least, this will add weight back in of coarse, but will keep the car from flexing.

An easy 10-15lbs can be seen in removal of the windshield washer tank and fluid. The tank is usually 3lbs or so, the fluid , depending on how full, is 10-12lbs. You can also lose the wipers for 5-6 lbs.
