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 ????

Like i said.. there isn't a single person on here that has a race car.
Most people use their cars as daily drivers and such drastic weight savings are just not practical for them (i know they are for you, but im talking about the rest of the people posting). And there is no way Im duct taping anything to my car.
