Paint is weight!

My car is probobly still lighter And it still has all the exterior body panels

Amagi82

oh yea, too far is when you have removed the drivers seat and are sitting on a lawn chair for reduced weight.

I put my car on the scales this saturday...

just for reference...

i was reading a article in grassroots motorsports magazine which pretty much explained that its better to get rid of excess weight than to try and add extra hp...more efficient anyways. honestly if youre not going to use it ditch it. lighter is better!

Amagi82

definately, because reduced weight benefits the car in every single way, acceleration, braking, handling, gas mileage, it helps parts last longer as they dont have to do as much work, all around its the best thing you can possibly do

Why not get one from an early 80's Lincoln, those f&^kers ARE LOUD

Me too. I just pulled out the wiring harness and I'm gonna re-wire it to the bare minimums. All that extra wiring is deceptively heavy!! I bet you I will chop out 20lbs doing this. Its a lot of work, but I say its worth it.

I was gonna leave the basic harness in, and remove all the unnessesary wires, but then I accidentally cut the wires to the brake lights. So then I had this HUGE tangled mess of wires, and just decided to rip the entire thing out. I'll just wire in the bare minimums: coils, push button starter, fuel pump, lights (from my flush mount setup, also for weight reduction), bright lights, brake lights, turn signals, tach, speedo, electric fan, oil pressure, engine temp, and a couple warning lights. That should be about all she needs. Rip out TONS of other crap, its unbelieveable how many wires there are just for the emissions and audio system. Rediculous.
