Getting Rid of Dead Extra Weight

[04-MystiChrome]

My car has to much extra crap in it like my helmet, toolbox,
assorted elctronics, manual, papers, spare tire, & jack. I'm
gonna rid all the stuff back to the garage. Maybe I'll pick up
1/10 who knows. Any of you guys got your car extra weight
free or are you still drive'n around with a spare? If I get a
flat around town I'll just have my wife bring me the spare.
I figure I have a much better chance at a run than a flat.

I took my spare out too. I dont really know how else to lose weight, maybe loser the passenger side floormat if you dont have people ride with you. The problem is these cars are so beautiful stock I don't really wanna gut them and take out the back seats, start messing the suspenion up to lose a few pounds etc.

The only thing im really thinking of doing is getting some lighter wheels, unsprung mass makes way more of a difference in acceleration anyway,

front bumper...thats my next "mod". i know its a bad thought..but its only good for 5 mph crashes anyways, and if i crash this car...it better just be totalled..

my car weighed 3598 with me in it! (195lbs) full interior. shotting for 3499 now...

I've thought about the bumper also...when I cage it I'll take it out

That's why I went with the "R" wheels-Their weight is
only 22lbs. vs. the stock around 25-26lbs.

Why dont you just get rid of the Porky, S/C v-8 and do a motor swap. I hear those little turbo 4's are killer!!:burnout:

wow. that's alot of weight off. BTW, how do you take the bumper off? and how much weight do you loose when you get rid of it?

it should only be a few bolts. i havent really looked yet. might have to take the bumper cover off. the stel bumper should be around 30-40lbs im guessing. actually..maybe ill try it tonight!
