    unless you intend on it being a weekend/track car, there really isnt much you can do without making a tin can out of it.

    lmao

    u can take out the seats, remove the dash and stuff (like A20A1) but see he's races his car, and has it modded for that purpose, u if u want a track car, do what he did, if u want a family car, leave the damn thing alone

    either go all out, or dont do it at all :P

    Thumbs up

    yep. there is nothing really to reduce the overall weight. u can lower significant on the front end alone with the Full AC system gone and other stuff listed here https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=32727 same link that Mike posted. Besides, this car is not that heavy to begin with so why bother. Do know that any weight reduction will change the charecteristics of a car if its a autocross/race car or even a hi-perf street car. Handling is where the notice is obvious.

    and mike (A20A1) this dude stole ur avatar. God damn....... that nice kitty

    i really wish we had aftermarket suspension components like the upper and lower control arms. Those would significantly reduce the unsprung weight on all 4 corners. Im sure tubular desgin is good and hope someone makes it for us or even someone starts to customizing it.
