i need the car daily driveable... removing the passenger seat is not an option. I like the idea of a hood and the rear seats weigh a ton if you remove the metal backplane. That thing is heavy!!!

I alos just thought today that I could get a lighter driveshaft. Rotational mass loss would be good

And I weigh 175lbs at 5'11'' and have little fat. The "diet would do me no good

Would a can of Fix-a-Flat work well as a substitute for the spare tire and jack?

Alot of car companys are ditching the spares and adding either a can of fix-a-flat or runflat tires now

your right the back seats weigh nothing, but you forgot to take out the metal back part. that thing is very heavy. the delete is atleast 40lbs.

hmmm... you know I guess fix-a-flat would work to get me to a shop to get the tire fixed... and be quicker at it huh?

okay... so I am still convinced I can do my own seat delete with light weight plastic, some carpet, and a touch of glue. The driveshaft should help a lot. I guess the last of it would be a new hood and lighter battery.

Where it's needed the most!

My plans are the UPR front suspension kit, Rear seat delete, racing front seats, carbon fiber hood, and maybe remove the wing! Oh and I want to relocate the battery to the rear for better traction.
