First let me say everyone has their own limit on what they see as a justifiable weight reduction. A fatboy, like myself, knows that we worked hard to get this size and spent a ton of money on some Good eatin'. We didn't do that for nothin'.
So while we may lose some of it, reluctantly, I might add, we still have to reduce weight where we can.
And seriously like I said everyone has a limit on what they think is okay to lose for weight and that is cool. Some of the things I would't do but I'm not going to knock them. I say lose everything you can and it all counts but when I look at it, I don't want to touch the interior, a/c among other thigs.
I don't agree with all the info posted here and agree with some but will add my .02 on it and no flame is intended.
40- side impact beams in doors
- I cut out the crash bars in my Coupe and was not a happy camper when I felt how light they were. Maybe the beams in the 94-95 are heavier but I doubt it.
10- strut tower brace
- I was actually amazed how light this was. I didn't weigh it but would guess about 5 lbs or maybe even less
if u have a notch....u can cut the X-bracing out of the decklid
- I did this on my coupe as well. Not really heavy but every ounce counts!!
rear spoiler weighs 11 pounds
- I will be doing this when I get the cash to repaint the decklid
Stock pulley's - aftermarket steel - aftermarket aluminum
- I have the asp steel pulleys. What type of weight savings did you see on them and the aluminum ones over stock?
Some people worry too much about taking out a pound here or there when there is an easy 40lb or 50lbs they can take off by doing one thing...a DIET
- A pound here and there adds up to ET!
- Nope I worked hard for my gut thankyouverymuch!!
Also, get rid of the fog lights and bracketry if you got them.
- I did this on my 93 GT and couldn't believe the weight on those little brackets. I will be doing this too.
Please post more weight reduction items.
I remember the engine puller brackets on the motor on my fox bodies werent real heavy but combined with other misc. brackets it added up.
