Hey guys,

I have a 88 Vert, and I want to do as much as I can to lighten it. If there is anything I can do?

 

Start ripping **** out, thats all lightening a car is.... Doesnt make sense unless its strickly a track car. But if it were, you would rip everything out of the car, mostly interior pieces, and throw in a roll cage for support.

 

uhhh....unless you REALLY like verts, if you are trying to lighten it, its kind of pointless, verts weigh about 300lbs more than coupes, meaning just to get to the lighter weight of a coupe you would need to strip the whole interior, tar and all, and replace the drivers seat with a plastic milk crate. good luck

 

Power steering pump
Power steering bracket
Ac pump
Ac condenser
Ac lines
Windshield washer fluid resivoir's
Sound deadening material in hatch and driver passenger area's
Cruis control
Cold start assist
Insulation -hatch
Insulation-under pass and drivers side carpet
Spare tire
Jack
Cargo strap's
Storage bin's
Storage bin bracket's

I can go on but all that alone is over a hundred pound's

 

the vert is the heavyest FC its allmost like a waste of time to try and lighten one....

remove your car back!, run no cat back exhaust that saves about 60 lbs ( ive weighted it)
