ok... help me go on a diet!
I know there's a post out there about weight reduction ( I TTT it earlier today) but alot of that stuff is hardcore...
My car's a pig now... weighing in over 3700 w/out my fat *** in it
So here's what I'm thinkin:
!subwoofer
!amp
!back seats
!spare tire
!front bumper support
!rear bumper support
!things in glove box or center console
!windshield washer fluid
That's all I could think of... I want to keep full interior (other than the back seats) and don't want to pull passenger seat, carpeting, AC, PS, etc...
Where else could I get some free weight reduction? I HAVE to hit 11s this saturday... so wanna do some weight reduction just in case!
Once I get cash I'm going Front runners, tubular k-member and A-Arms, and possibly a few other things... but for now I need to get as much weight out as I can by saturday (no light weight driver mod... I wanna run the number on my own :p)

Take off the front anti- sway bar. (I don't have a weight, but these are REALLY heavy)
Remove the EGR and AIR systems (will set SES).
Aftermarket headers (longtubes with no cats) are much lighter than factory manifolds & cats.
Wheels- I put Welds on mine and saved 38 lbs.
Take TrimSpa and eat lots of boiled cabbage.

Did ya ever see what happens at 120 to the bumper at 120 when the bumper support is not there not very aerodynamic buckled in
Just go out there and you'll find all kinds of stuff that can come off. You just have to look. It would take a long time and a lot of thinking to write down wverything that could be removed.
