Im looking for ways to lighten up my 94 st, ive started by taking off the spoiler, adding light weight rims, i cant do anything crazy like carbon fibre hood/hatch, jst dont have the money for that but things i can take off, im thinking about taking the rear seats out.. would that do alot? maybe the spare tire..uhmmm??? anyone have thoguhts ????

small car battery, remove power steering and all the bracket/hoses.
Door pannels speakers and sound system. All that plus everything mentions above would probably reduce the weight of the celica by 200-300 pounds? Would it be worth it? not really. It makes the celica one unpleasent car to drive in. |
