well i was wondering on how to do a good weight reduction on the car without totally stripping it out or being too noticable?? i removed the spare tire,and back seat but is there anything else that i can take out to get some good weight loss in my car without losing my power options,and making the inside looking like ****???

You could go with a glass hood, some sort of nice but lighter wheels...theres not really much you can do without making it noticeable. Maybe take the carpet and sound deadning crap out and replace it with that carpet they make thats really light and thin.

Get a light weight battery. You could always take the AC out if you want.

Also an option. It just depends what your goals are with the car, and how much your willing to let go of.

get a light weight batter and relocate it to the back... its not just about weight reduction but also weight transfer.

take out some speakers, the rear seatbelts, the window wash bottle, fog lights etc..

any thing can go, its just up to you on what you want to remove

Empty out windshield washer fluid, I think it's like a gallon or two so you'd definitely shed 1-3 pounds.

How about bumper supports?

I find it really tough to strip out stuff and still have the car be daily drivable....

People take out their front bumper support and **** too, but I would worry about frontal impacts, etc.

A gallon is 6 pounds. Not really worth it, if your not making it into a drag car.
You're gunna be kicking yourself when you get bugs, dirt etc. on your windshield

you can take off a few of the heat shields under the car as well.

pull the air pump out as well if you didn't do that yet. it looks like you have it deleted but pull it out and that will drop a few pounds if you haven't.

6 pounds is a lot.. id do it..

heat shield is what i was gonna say, just little **** like that adds up REAL fast.. theres some stuff under the dash, you can get down to like 3000 easyily without being noticeable..

Depends on how far you want to take it

Nobody has said a lightweight K member yet? wow. That right there should shave off 40-50 lbs. Upper and lower A arms aswell. An aluminum drive shaft should be lighter than stock. Plus, floor mats and useless junk you keep in the car all adds up. Lightweight drag brakes as well.

what is the air pump?????? i was thinking about taking out the bumper supports and relocating the battery as well. SPOHN makes alot of stuff like the K-member front end, the motor mounts and the upper and lower A-arms. this all will shed(im guessing) around what? <---anyone who knows better please fill in cause i know stock **** is heavy thats how i based my guess.

Passenger side airbag. That little bastard is heavy!! You'll never know it's gone. Unless you have a wreck with a passenger.

I would avoid removing the bumber support. That is just my .02 cents.

K Member and A arms will save you the most weight, around 100lbs. Removing the AC saves alot of weight also, the compressor/mount is one heavy bitch along with the other lines(55lbs). i wouldn't recommend removing the heater core if it's going to be used on the street because you lose your windshield defrost. Replacing the carpet with the aftermarket stuff will net you a 40lbs loss. if your looking for major weight loss, there isn't a way around taking away some accessories.
