Yea I will never go to that extent.


I did that with my S13 that was a daily/second street project car and was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Horrible to ride in, louder than it needs to be, looks ghetto to other people and hardy makes a dent in weight and performance unless you go bawls out or it's a dedicated track car obviously it makes sense. I am just aiming to cut the big weight stuff and not fret the small stuff.

Ie spare, overkill exhaust, anything else #15+

Can you actually feel a difference with that much weight reduction? Or did you remove little by little which makes it harder to tell a difference?

For all of you addicted to weight loss, I have two words for you:

Acid dip.

Side benefit: Not only can you lose a whole 7.2lbs or so off the body, it takes care of all those rust problems and will help ventilate the car (brakes, engine, and allows additional air into the cabin from where the rust USED TO BE!

Think of how fast you'll be then!!

dboyzalter, you listening?

I took most of it out at the same time, I actually had a small leak in my back glass found my carpet was a bit damp in one spot and went crazy and ripped everything out... I ended up finding like 4 dropps of water in my glove box area... Anyways took it all out in one day, spare plastics and my sub and amp... I think it was noticeable was probably a little in my head, probably a 100lb loss maybe 150 if you factor in the cf hatch

Hey, can anyone help me out with this problem? I put a fitty pound sack of rice in the trunk and when I start driving, it makes this awful sound... Badonk! Badonk! Badonk!

Help me, please, when I type in the onomatopoeia, the search engine acts like it doesn't understand the word.

Maybe I should try using a different word.... Oh, I know, "Kim Kardashian".

with my estimated 225whp it made a big enough difference that I haven't put all my junk back in my trunk yet... My amp and sub are a little missed, the road noise isn't much of a difference, but I dont exactly have good hearing.
