Ok, I am looking to take out everything and anything that I DONT need in the car to reduce as much weight as possible

I will be PROB taking the whole AC unit and all its pieces out
I will take the padding and sound dampining out from underneath the carpet
I took the padding off that was under the hood.
Thinking of taking out the stereo system, I find my self never using it because the car is loud and I like to listen to the cam in her, she sounds soooo good!!!


What else is there that might be hidden that I can take out to reduce some weight, Im thinking im leaning more towards a track car, It was suppost to be a daily driver but we only use the car once a week if that. BUT I still going to need lights and all that.

I dont know if theres anything else that I can eliminate, if there is please post.
Thanks

 

get rid of the driver, that helps






rear seat delete?
spare tire?
get lighter racing seats?

 

Ahhh an RC mustang full size....hmmmmmmmm that could be done thats for sure!!!!

Rear seat delete is a good idea
No spare tire already!!!
Lighter racing seats...good one there.....I have the leather seats in there now, so Im sure there heavier than the stock cloth seats. I have been actually looking around for some racing seats, so ill stick to that plan and get some

THANKS man.reppin ya.....

 

Its a GT right? trade somone or junk yard an LX body kit ... saves some weight. fog lights , AC , power steering , K member , A arms , bumper piston bracket things ... the various unused steel brackets from the smog shit. battery to the trunk. the carpet padding weights a fucking TON. light weight drag wheels , skinnys up front. aluminum heads , aluminum radiator. the stock altenator bracket and tensioner weight alot , glass hood , lexan windshield ( they are pretty cheap) rear seatbelt shit , windshield washer tank and pump in the fender , heater core
EDIT
btw the Jegs brand aluminum radiator is like 289 where ad the competitions are like 4-500

march altenator bracket weights like a pound ( need a standard direction water pump with it) end EDIT

 

Now thats the kinda answer Im looking for!!! LOL, alright alot of that I have already done but theres many that I havent done yet or havent heard of, thanks for all those man. rep left fo ya.....Ohh and yes its a GT, I just got the pro stars on and they weighed alot less than what came off of the car. I was also thinking of that fiberglass hatch, has anyone you know used them, how do they fit. I know that can eliminate alot of weight.

Thanks again man

 

The small things add up... I was amazed at how much of a difference that crap under your carpet weighed.... I had to drag the garbage can to the curb, that shit weighed a ton. The rule to lighten any car... if you don't need it... pitch it. You will drop weight taking out your heater and ac garbage. Id say get a manual rack and pinion.

Yank all the interior out and sit on a plastic bucket.... interior of a vehicle is over-rated anyways.....

 

Radiator JEG'S Mustang 1979-93 Aluminum Radiator - JEGS

water pump
JEG'S Super Duty Aluminum Water Pumps - JEGS

they also sell the bracket for the altenator.

I thought about a glass hatch and lexan rear window BUT I think with almost no over hand past the axle that the weight over the rear wheels is probably more useful then not. especially with the weight u cannot remove from the front end like the motor ect

 

I can mount a 5 gallon bucket in there!!!! Ive got a ton of them since I do painting and shit!!!

I also have alot of plastic lawn chairs I can rig up in there!!!! LOL


I am thinking of loosing the power steering also. Id like just a motor and drive train and a seat thats all. I should just build a heafty go cart and put my motor in there!!! that bitch would flyyyyy

 

Ahh true, yeah I can see whats ya talking about with that. Thanks for those links, I just ended up oredring a Griffin Alum Rad. The water pump I didnt think of at all, Im going to look that link up. Thanks

 

there is a ton of insulation under the interior panels in the rear.

light wheels if you don't have them already.
