Seriously. What kind of a moron would want to stop when the name of the game is to go fast?!
Also, take out everything under the bumper covers. The rebar weighs a SHITLOAD, and that styrofoam is all you ever need in case of a collision.

whats with you guys and drastic weight reductions on daily driver cars? (IE - no carpets or door panels, etc etc)
I mean I could understand if you were using it for drag or track only, but on a Daily driver? Caammmaawwwnn!

zoom zoom go boom
I've got no sound deadening, carpet, or a/c and my **** is a daily driver. Its not a car for everyone and idle conversation while driving is thrown right out the window like the stereo. Of course I do use the car for drag and drift, so its not like I'm not racing the car. It just takes a certain kinda person I guess to drive a car that you cant hear yourself scream inside. But if I want a/c and a quiet ride I'd just take the wife's new cavalier.

and I stopped at running bareblock. Yeah, I wanna go fast N/A, but this IS my daily driver (bumper reinforcments are staying,and I WOULD go crazy driving the 40min to and from school w/o a radio), and a lot of the listed mods just arn't worth doing (Sound deadening is just too much work to do... but... ECU Bracket??).

The best thing to do is to get an n/a car and put a t11 engine it. That way you are already lighter than a t11. Put a bonnet scoop and that way i cut out a huge chunk out of my bonnet. I got no a/c or powersteering.
Also all the break ventelation stuff is gone. To put my front mount i cut a lot of metal out. I got the stock wheels. The engine bay is so empty i can sit in it. Oh yeh i got an electric fan which is lighter than the shrud fan. I got an aftermarket computer. And an aftermarket cd player which is heaps lighter than the standard install. I dont know how much the car weighs but i bet its lighter than any t11 out there on the street.
