Alright, we have updates! Our first stage of this project was to remove the basic interior out of the car. This included carpet, seats, pillar covers, etc etc. We were quite pleased with the amount of weight we were able to remove from the car with very little effort. We were able to remove over 300 pounds of just interior pieces. Our current weight is 3009 which is down from 3323, a 314 pound difference!

We are about to start moving forward with our second stage of this project which will include more in depth weight reduction. This is where it starts getting a little bit harder to get significant weight off. We will be removing sound deadening, AC, door crash beams, etc. Keep in mind the car is still bone stock, so we havn't even installed new exhaust, suspension, and other aftermarket parts which will drop a nice bit of weight out of the car. Stay tuned to our progress! Here are a few more pictures



Lots of sound deadening to remove


Down to 3009 pounds (314 pounds less than stock)
