How to lose weight, Need imput!
SO what are some good ways to shave a few pounds in my ride? Already have the tubular K member. Lets hear what some of you other cats came up with, while keeping my passenger seating that is.

remove spare tire, jack, CD changer (if there is one), and rear seats (i'm hoping you're not referring to these when you say "passenger seating"....cause that's a bad joke.... ).
chromoly upper/lower a-arms, hollow sway bars, lighter springs, chromoly D/A PHR, chromoly S/A or D/A LCA's, remove stock tunnel brace, carbon fiber driveshaft, aluminum flywheel, air conditioner delete, electric water pump, fiberglass or carbon fiber hood, and if you have 17" or larger wheels, go back down to 16's
also, if you have power seats, you could swap them out for non-power seats, or even some lightweight racing seats.
and then i guess you could fill your tires up with helium.....
i'm sure there's more you can do, and others should chime in.....that's all i can think of just off the top of my head without completely gutting the interior
