Removing the rear seat and all associated hardware is a little over 50 pounds or so. Brace yourself for the road noise though. I tried it for awhile, not worth it. Hypothetically if you could some how remove 200 pounds that'd take your power to weight ratio from 21.82 pounds per hp to 20 pounds per hp. Wooooo, flying now.

Then when you want power go out to your engine and pull and pull until it kicks on, set it to MAX POWA and BAM Instant 10-20 HP! Sharing that Honda tech knowledge I see. Youtube!! LOL |

Wooooo, flying now. stripping the whole interior, stripping all the paint and just clear coating just the metal parts to hopefully prevent it from rusting, removing the power steering system, ac system, heater core and run a hose from the inlet to the outlet of the heater core hoses, cruise control, airbags replace them for(racing 1 seat{ditch the passengers}and 4 point harness maybe not as safe but better than nothing lol). radio and speakers, carbon fiber (hood, trunk lid, doors, dashboard ditch the center console), polycarbonate windows all around except windshield, remove the wipers and all mirrors, remove the spoiler, leave at home the spare tire and tools and have AAA on speed dial, get lighter wheels with low profile tires, lowering springs, remove the exhaust and run a straight pipe though the fender, remove high-beams and fog-lights then fiberglass flush ALL the holes left in the bumper, trim all unnecessary plastic from behind it and drill 4 1 inch holes on the bumper in front of the radiator, cover any gaps with custom aluminum under panels under the car, remove your taillights and replace them with LED strips, degrease your engine bay and ditch the airbox and filter, washer fluid system, and dont fill up the tank gas adds weight too. if he does all that he might get a decent power to weight ratio LOL -Dont take this comment seriously -------------------- white 1997 Celica GT***FOR SALE
