Default Drop some weight!

I've heard this car weighs somewhere around 3,800 lbs. But I've heard of people getting them down to 2,800.
What's the best way to get down at least 400 pounds, something relatively simple like removing rear seats and spare tire.

The Ultimate Weight loss thread

Do a search and you'll find everything you need. Just a few of the hefty things that are easy to remove are spare tire, A/C, and the stock catback.

There's no "easy" way to drop 400 lbs lol... how much do you think your spare and rear seats weigh?

Default Re: Drop some weight!

I gutted my car to the point where it was streetable (to my standards)

dropped 252lbs

On a VR4 it should be a little easier, but its gonna be getting rid of the creature comforts that makes the car a VR4.

As said before search. I started a thread about this very topic, we got alot of good responses to it, check it out
