I know our cars are already very light but since im at a big power disadvantage with my 7AFE I wanted to take it a step farther and get really light. Im not sure but I was thinking of ripping out the back seats for starters and some of the sound material. If I get Sparco seats or something, are they lighter than stock and by how much? Anyone know what else I can get rid of to lighten my car. I'm willing to take alot out, not the AC and heater and radio though I need music and the proper climate to pilot my lil bullet....Any suggestions would be awsome....

if you want to do some serious weight reduction strip the car on the inside completely out and take a heat gun and a chizzel and take off all the sound-deading foam and tar material, its about 10 lbs worth of dead weight. then as you put the whole car back togeather, its easier to see what you can lose and what needs to stay.
