I look at the GVW of my car and it was 3495 lbs! That is way too heavy for a small car like that. So.... I was wondering what the best way to free up some weight would be without sacrificing too much.

EDIT: I JUST GOT MY FIRST BAR!!! YAY!!! *clears throat* anyways.... thanks for the help.

just a few things off the top of my head:

easy things to remove:
spare tire
rear seats
interior panneling
stereo system

harder things to remove:
sound deadining material on the frame
A/C
Powersteering

then theres plenty of parts you can buy that are reduced weight, such as carbon fiber or fiberglass hood and fenders, smaller battery, lightweight wheels, lighter seats, as well as other things


or you could just loose some weight yourself biggrin.gif
