I feel bad if he does the stupied stuff.
hey guys what did I miss?
hey when your racin only race with no moree then 5 gallons of gas as is so heavy also anything you can besides seats a buddy of mine too out the center console and dash and made the dash aluminum and carbonfiber
Buy a Corvette lol
also take out the speakers and speaker covers like the pice that covers the spare tire, and i wouldnt reccomend taking the ttops off your frame may bend easier do too hp and tq
remove the engine......

Technicaly you are removing the heavy tops. They dont cut the Tbar. All you have to do is swap the hardware from your t tops to the targa and remove the bolted on center bar that keeps the t tops in place. No cutting. its on 6lE right now. check it out. im considering it in carbon fiber for racing days, same with some kind of carbon fiber hood. VIS makes some pretty good looking hoods. 3 different kinds actually for the TA alone. kinda cool. A base, R AIR, and then some kind of triple extractor hood that looks different from any hood ive seen before. replacing any kind panel with carbon fiber will reduce alot of weight. and judgin by the last posted reply from mine, its been awhile since the OP had recieved a good anwser to his original question, and i too would like to know a few other trick myself. like more carbonfiber options for TAs
Intresting.. What setup?:burnout: Stripped, of everything the best we can hope for is mid 13's N/A with bolt ons..Quote:

remove 2 rear O2 sensors
Remove Air pump
um, the giant 20-30lb wing?
those 90lb Asian guys have about a 10hp extra vs some of us then...
basically remove everything besides the engine, tranny, go with drag wheels, different brakes, sparco steering wheel, and replace driver seat with a sparco racing seat (seatbelt is optional)
:lmao:
if a dedicated track car..cut the front bumper supports and just weld a light bar..also look into getting a lightweight radiator and taking your gas tank out and only running a 5 gallon+ race tank ..of course these are for after you do the all the easier things
Wow this thread is older than most of my kids!! Good read though.
Actually, looks like things got kind of stupid. Some good suggestions though in the serious responses. I have scaled my car a couple of times - gained weight in the rear and lost it in the front. It has been a while since the last time I weighed it and more mods have been completed. I do need to drop it back on the scales with the track wheels mounted.
I would like to get to 3,000 or less. They stated earlier that carbon fiber replacements are good weight reducers, which is true if you buy (dry) carbon fiber which is really expensive. I'm a big dude so weight loss is needed in both the car and myself! LOL
