I've been plotting the last two weeks about removing the junk in the trunk (LOL). It won't help if something does happen in my situation. It will be gone tomorrow.

 

This kinda put a bug in everyone's ear, I guess ill ditch mine also.

 

i ditch mine because i had a system put in as well...

 

I ditched the spare well before I mounted my 19" Volks... But for some reason I keep the jack and tools in their original location. That will change tonight...

I use my Z as a daily driver, but like other have members said, why bother when you can get a tow. Besides, like many others have also said, the spare doesn't fit over a BBK anyway...

I have roadside assistance through my insurance company, a credit card company, Nissan extended warranty, and I'll be signing up or AAA in a month or so... (ex-member, only used it once when my girlfriend locked herself out of her car...)

I have a question about tire storage; Currently my stock set of wheels, including the spare, are lined up along wall of my shed. The shed is too small for all three to go in. Would wrapping the wheels in plastic aka garbage bags, be a could way to keep them from getting messed up? Or would that just lock in moisture and do more harm than good?

 

What spare?

 

yea i dont get why they even gave the spare tire to people with brembos if it dosent fit over them

 

why do you need weight reduction for daily driving? i understand if you've got a system to put in, or for the track, but for everyday surface street/freeway driving...?

 

Are you following me into every thread I post in?


To answer your question, I drop weight in my car for a specific goal. There's a reason why my battery only weighs 12 lbs. lol

 

no, i'm clicking on new posts, which is probably what you're doing..

yes, i'm following you. in fact, i'm actually sitting outside your workplace right now..

ok i get the specific goal, but don't you mean a specific goal ON TRACK? don't tell me you're playing speed racer on the streets.

 

i am i like to pretend im mighty mouse and do 130 through school zones . not really, but yeah i took mine out too i had a system put in but i could still get to it just didnt see the point. I have roadside too so screw the extra 50 pounds.

 

How much time do you think I have on my hands to actually remove the spare tire and jack, and battery and wheels and every other lightweight part just for the track? It makes no sense. I'm installing a roll cage this weekend, that should say something about where i'm going with this car. lol Definitely not a grocery getter.

 

I have a question, i have an 04 with out the TPMS and thinking about running with out the spare. Since its my daily driver, can i use the fix-a-flat if i do get a flat? Im running 19" sportmax wheels with no TPMS. I dont feel like call a tow just for a flat.

 

Fix a flat doesn't always work, plus its only a temporary solution.

 

Im doing it cuz the flatbed service is free. And I hear fix a flat does work for minor flats like nails or screw in the tire.

 

okkkkkk arin i know its not a grocery getter, calm down. i'm not accusing you of anything, i'm asking an honest question, trying to see if there's any reason i don't know about that someone might want to reduce weight on the car.

 

Holy Cow I have never tried my spare over my Brembos on my 03 track Z... Does it seriously not fit?

 

Handles better. The feel becomes much more crisp, plus it's a bit faster.

 

Like I said. Pulled the spare and tools. Not the tow hook though. Every pound counts. Now to put a few tire repair shops in my speed-dial.

 

Same here..except that my sub is integrated into the spare well

 

Now dont forget to only fill up around half way. More weight loss
