Tonight was a sad night. On the way home I was on the freeway alone and a gutted, loud EF Civic hatch got next to me and revved for a minute. We slowed down to 60 or so, I dropped it down to third, and floored it until about 75(This was in a 70 MPH zone.) Sadly, the gutted EF pulled on me...I'm confident that it didn't have a B16 because it wasn't too fast, but it was obviously modded.
But anyway, it made me sad, and the whole way home I was thinking about what I could remove to save some weight off of my car. Here's what I came up with so far. Keep in mind that I want my car to still be daily-drivable and comfortable.
I'm keeping my power steering/dash/carpet/seats for sure. I also am looking into buying some lightweight 16" or 17" wheels. What do you guys think? Is there anything not too important to comfort that I'm missing? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

-you could gut the ac compressor.
-the pass air bag weighs a lot....prob 20lbs. if you do that take out all of the wires and sensors in the front and computer. -cruise control box would be good and it would give your engine more breathing room. -you could take out your windshield wiper fluid/container. -you could take out your antenna parts (motor etc). -get lighter rims. -put on a lighter steering wheel. -keep only 1/4 tank in your car. -------------------- -97 Celica ST
-2001 Celica GTS dk blue mica 100hp per litre (GOT LIFT?) |
