what is the best way to lose weight on an 03 gt?

[FoxRod87]

I know the back seat but what else.

 

[1fast03pony]

Spare tire, jack, smaller battery, carbon fiber hood/trunk, lighter wheels...

Thats all i can come up with

 

[FoxRod87]

Thanks. But I know there has got to be some more easier weight.

The List

Weight reduction starts with the driver!

No front swaybar when dragging. No rear swaybar when mad tyte drifting.

Light weight rims make a world of difference, especially paired up with a tubular K-member. Lots of gas weighs a ton. Get a tiny fuel cell for the trunk.

 

[myponyrocks]

tubular front end is fairly cheap, and good savings, some will drop the danger flag though.

Depends on your goals and budget.
C/F Hood, C/F trunk or hatch, C/F front and rear facia, Lexan windows, Lightweight wheels, Alluminum rotors, light weight gears, All. driveshaft, All. flywheel, smaller fuel cell, All. block, K-member + A-arms, Lightweight seats, Interior delete, total A/C delete, Flaming River Manual steering rack, Removed front and rear bumper (the under bumper, not the cover facia), Smaller battery relocated to trunk or pass. side rear floor,
If its a fox pry up the sound dedning gabage glued to the metal on the inside floor.
To go extreme fiberglass or C/F doors.
After that its being creative like side wiew mirror delete, wiper delete, removing side skirts and fender well plastic, sand the car down to bare metal and use 1 coat of white primer.

I know this is very excesive but im not sure how deep into race you are going, some times you need every ounce gone. But those guys usually start with a bare chasis and only put on the necesitys.

Also if you are looking for even more time get a girl that weighs like 115lbs to drive. And when she spanks people will freak that a girl was driving. And tell her not to eat for like 2 days before the race. harhar

Also pieces of floor can be replaced with sheet alluminum and can be riveted into place. Also certain areas of the engine bay sheet metal are not needed.

 

[fastangboi]

Also door beams and interior sheet metal beams

 

[fastangboi]

I do STRONGLY recomend a cage, tower brace front and rear, subframe conectors before all the sheet metal supports are taken out.

way to whore up tech Stangboi.... use the edit button next time you remember something

As to the Lexan, be careful its not legal in some events. Same with tubbing, and other body mods. The easiest things are full aftermarket exhaust, tubular front, lighter wheels, and carbon fiber parts.... (and some brands of race seats)

 

[04GT]

high fiber, low carb, low cal

replace spare with a can of fix-a-flat...that's what the high-end sports cars have

All what? Aluminum only has one L in it. Aluminum rotors sound risky to me. All of our cars have the tar for noise deadening. Don't want to rivet in an aluminum floorpan, because we all know how dangerous that turned out to be in The Fast and the Furious. Oh wait, that just might have been alluminum.
