Might wanna pm 95snoozer and see what all he has done as far as weight reduction goes. There are a couple others with a good bit of weight reduction but he is the only one that comes to my mind. Do a search on weight reduction and see what you come up with. Good Luck.

Take the change out of the car and clean the carpet.














Seriously though,

You can go from just removing the carpet to replaceing body parts with light weight fiber glass

well despite what peopel may think over the internet about my car, it is my daily driver in the 100+ degree texas heat. I put 13K miles this summer alone

my back seat is partly there because i still carry 3-4 peopel around. i have a partial rear seat delete with the rear bottom cusshion still in.

my steps might seem small, and you may think they are funny, but man do they add up.

dog bone on the rear end
front sway bar
rear trunk carpet is gone along with the board.
smog pump and tubes floor matts
empty all windshield wiper fluid there is in there.
radiator cover
front emblem and bracket
you can ditch your fogs and brackets if you like. I might do that hear soon and install some brake coolers in there.
I prefer stopping to having fogs.

i will list some more later. with some more major stuff
