simple and fast weight reduction

[Dillon Dollar]

What are some simple things I can do I'm trying to make my car a light street car not a stripped drag car I run on the street
Only reduction done is sway bar removal
And battery relocated to trunk with spare tire removed



Any ideas all I could come up with is New k member and possibly remove the
passenger seat

 

[pmcferron]

if it has shaker1000 ditch the subs

 

[ford20]

ditch the K-member

Tubular radiator support steeda makes one where you can use your sway bars still ... Maybe a rear seat delete?

 

[TheDarkPath]

- Off-road h or x pipe
- Tubular radiator support
- Rear seat delete
- Remove passenger seat
- Clear trunk of mat, spare, jack, subs and amp (if shaker 1000)
- Tubular A-Arms
- Lightweight Driveshaft
- Tubular K-Member
- Skinny wheels in the front with a radial on them (Racestar 15x3.5)

If you don't use your window washer you can remove the fluid and reservoir along with lines for like 6lbs

Passenger seat is 49 lbs connected by four bolts and two wire plugs. Takes about 3 minutes to remove it if you're slow. 13mm for the front two bolts and 15mm for the rear two nuts.

Back seat pops out easily but it doesn't weigh much, maybe 8-10 lbs if that.

I went through the thread I just was curious about what would be practical and fast.. sorry for thr repost

Ok look like ill remove the passenger and rear seats and add a tubular k member and a arms and that's about all I can do I removed the washer fluid amps subs and mat today ill probably just remove the Seats at the track I may take them out and just buy racing seats

keep the battery in the front and get a Powercell Technologies lithium battery. Weighs only 8 pounds and no voltage loss from the long runs of power cable to the trunk.

$795.00

What et's are you shooting for? Seats are the quickest way to drop weight. If you really get into it take out your bumper supports for close to 30-40 lbs. it really just depends on how far you want to go. I've seen fbodys with no interior or even mirrors. Granted his race weight was right at 2900lbs.

If your overweight personally you can also go on a diet too.

$800 for a battery holy shit! There's cheaper options then that for light weight batteries.

I would recommend against this battery unless it is a track only car. Not enough for most setups.
