Default What to do to lose weight

I have searched and read the weight reduction guide but what else can I do on my vert to remove weight that is free. Also I need to keep it as streetable as possible since it is a daily driver and ac/abs/stereo/power everything are a must for the comfort of a daily driver. I am not looking to build a drag car, just wanna lighten it since the driver (me 310lbs) is a fat **** and won’t go on a diet, lol. This is what I have done so far.

!spare tire/jack
!back seats/seat belts
!egr
!air
!heat shields (except for the one under the gas tank)
!cross member (I think that’s what it was, the thing where the y-pipe went)
!all stock exhaust mounts
!washer fluid reservoir
!vert top pump and hyd stuff

That is all I can think of so far. The car is almost full bolt-on other than pulley and ported tb.

We should hook up this week and I can show you some of the things I have done. I`m on 249 near the belt. I`m down to 3201 on a 1/4 tank and me not in the car. Will be down to 3140 by this weekend. I`m off all this week but will not have the car Thurs. and Fri. Let me know if you want to stop by. I might be in Spring at the girlfriends on Wed. night near Klein High. Let me know if you wanna stop by.

I could stop by tomorrow after work...6pm, or you could bring it to the Tuesday meet at hooters on westheimer and gessner at 730pm. Let me know, that is some impressive weight drop.



forget slimfast, i took straight ephedrine after high school for 1 month to get into the military, before weight was 249 1 month later 189. Lets just say it was worth it for the military experience.

I could make it to the meet, but my car is allerigic to 1960. I`ll cross it on 290, Mills, 249, and 45. What Starbucks is it? Is it the one at the Willowbrook Commons? Do the cops stop by the meet often, because I don`t need the Black Knight fuggin with me again.LOL. If you want we can meet up after you get off work tommrow near Tomball, but I really would like to hook up Wed. when I`m in Spring (Stuebner and Louetta). My girlfriend is going to pick me up from MADMAN`s shop Thurs. morning befor she goes to work so I`ll be a little closer to Tomball Wed. night, but if you can`t hook up Wed. evening we can hook up tommrow.
