I'm new to this forum so hopefully im posting this in the right place. I'm looking to shed a few pounds in my 3sgte swapped 94 Celica st and I'm kinda wondering where to start. I don't want to completely gut the interior since this is gonna be a summer daily.

I figure since the back seats are practically useless in these, taking them out would probably cut down on weight drastically (anyone know how much they weigh?). I've got a leaking gas tank too so ill probably switch to a fuel cell to cut down on weight as well. I may chuck the spare tire too but this is a daily so I'm kinda iffy on that. Anyone have some more suggestions? Thanks!

Fair enough. This may end up just being a weekend car as its already uncomfortable as all hell and loud when it comes to road noise so I'm not too worried about driver comfort haha. And I can't see myself ever putting much in the back since I have a station wagon as a grocerie getter. I totally get what your saying tho, the back seats seem like they'd be heavy but they're probably way lighter than they look. And as far as the fuel cell goes, I'd probably switch to an aluminum one that's less than half the size of the original. I'm likely going to upgrade the fuel system anyways so I'm alright with getting a new pump and whatnot. Gutting a Honda seems to make a world of a difference but maybe the rear seats and whatnot are alot heavier in those lol. Thanks for the info! I may just keep the interior after all.
