you wouldnt believe how much faster and how much better it handles, who needs hp when you have low weight lol

I know there is a rats nest of wires in the trunk, i just dont know much about wires so i am going to have the local tuner shop take care of that.

I plan on going to a truck stop soon to have it weighed.

*ROFL* Finally someone took my advice.... People always ask how they can get cheap HP and I've told a number of people, "take out the back seat and gut the interior" but no one wanted to do it or believed me! HA! The proof is in the pictures!

i did a bit of weight redux myself, that stock airbox and all of its piping had to go, there were also a few metal brackets on the underside of the car that i got rid of. i should weigh the tub of pieces i have in my garage.

Wow that's good stuff. I think I might do that tomorrow for fun. Then whenever a group of people have to go somewhere we don't have to take my car! Thx the pics.

Noticed no spare, are you gonna put the spare back in or just roll without? Between spare and scissor jack thats probably good weight savings right there.

well i weighed my car today, and i'm disappointed with the results, 2860 aka stock weight(scale is only good within 10lbs).

so pretty much i have a gutted interior to get it back to stock weight.
