Tigawoods' 1995 Celica, Racing n Stuff Options

[Tigawoods]

we already thought of plexiglass windows
the only one that would let a substantial amount of weight off is the hatch. the rear has enough weight of as it is already
i am 140-150
i could gain some lol
hood is as gutted as a stock hood can get without ruining the structural integrity of it
the doors and besically everything else in the front is staying, i want to keep it somewhat intact there or my gf will bitch lol

That's my only problem with taking out the rear seats and plastics, etc. It biases the weight distribution even more to the front.

But that's also my attraction to a 7A-FTE setup...my car's already light, might as well not ruin that with a heavy engine. And yes, I know that heavy engine has more power...but I want handling, dammit.

removing that stuff doesnt affect handling to badly. when my car was stripped :only had driver seat and door pannels) my car felt more nimble than when it did with the interior in it

I really like the new wheels instead of those steelies you were rocking out. Keep up the good work.

I plan on getting another car for a DD (hopefully another celica) Then I will take everything out of the celica's interior including the door panels, center arm rest, the whole dash... minus the airbags, cluster and shift knob. Possibly remove AC too... But how much more weight do you think the door panels and the dash could save in weight? 20lbs?

I have autocross events in VT that I will be attending if anyone is close and wants to have fun they can come.

ALSO: its not that our women have full control of what we do but if they are happy then "WE" are happy

^^ i will second this, my GF has bitched to no end about me spending money on my car, ha ha so im pretty much at a standstill now because like said if they are happy "WE" are happy

[Tigawoods]

the door panels really dont weigh much at all. id say 10 for both.
youd have to take out the speakers n such to get over 20 off
id also say the glove box center console is a few pounds and some of the other things listed in the front you could take off a decent amounts
im glad ur auto-xing man! cant wait to see some results!

[808celica]

Pssssssssst Mike get a vincent doggy gas lid its 3lbs lighter

and lol at the gf thing i guess i got lucky

[whatthe]
