What are people doing to reduce weight of there Car.
 
I was just curious (to those who have reduced the overall weight of there car) what you are removing. I would like to shave some pounds of my beast. I don't want to completely gut it like full on drag racers do, but removing the back seats would be fine. What else is there to do?

Airbag carpet speakers stereo center console. Just think about what is in the car that you dont need, then remove it :)

a light weight battery is a good way shed some pounds

What goes into removing the AC stuff. Can i just remove it and be good to go or will i need to do other things?

Just remove the compressor, condensor, and piping.

Back seats and spare tire/jack are a good 50+ lbs.

Do you have to get a plate, fake pulley or something? I mean it changes the belt configuration. How does that work?

no, it runs a separate belt that only drives the A/c compressor.

Take out back seats, thats a good 30-40lbs with seatbelts out also. Front and back bumper supports or whatever thats another 40-50lbs bt the 2. take out a couple speakers thats a good 15lbs. Then get a gym membership and lose bout 50lbs :thumb: should be good to go after all that.
