Just gut it an old school 4dr i thnk anyone will race that gutted or not then cut out all the excess seat supports get a sheet of diamond plate and make urself a dash thats what i used in my old golf and golf dashboards r heavy as shit

 

right now i have no supports and no wiper assembly. that sll so far. tday im gutting the trunk and maybe even start to make a template of the fiberglass rear door windows

 

no no no. no mods to the windsheild or front doors for me. im always riding by myself so i really dont have to worry about safety for the back. plexi glass will be customized for the rear only

 

I just removed all the tar that is under the carpet on my crx. Took about 15 to 20 pounds of dry ice, a rubber hammer,a chisel and about 3 hours. Came up relatively easy considering my car has sat in the sun with no carpet for the last year or so. I have all the shit in a bag and it feels to be more than 20 pounds or so. If you wanted you could put all your carpet back for a stock look.

Remove all the a/c and heater stuff and save over 30 pounds.

Cut out the skeleton of the stock hood for a solid five pounds. Make sure to leave the part for propping your hood up. Same thing for the trunk.

There is another 30 or so pounds of tar on the bottom of the car. Oven cleaner and alot of work is required, also a lift.

That is all the ingognito stuff I can think of right now.

50 pounds saved is a VERY noticeable difference. Think about it if you could get 100 pounds out that is about 1/20 of your cars total weight as of now. Definitely good.

 

i already did the uderside of the car. we put it up on a lift and got a bad ass pressure washer and went at it. took about 30 minutes. over all, it looks good under my car and washed out a bunch of nasty shit

 

huh, it just came off with a pressure washer? That is encouraging, I might do mine as well. Any idea on the weight? I was told 30 lbs by a guy who does chassis work.

 

not just any pressure washer. the badest pressure around. i think this thing would hurt more than a gun shot. no idea on the weight. but it was a substancial amount of shit that came off. very noticable to the eye that weight was lost. LOADS OF SHIT

 

KJ pretty much summarized what I was going to suggest.

Lexan/Polycarb windows (plexiglass is not reccomended and does not cold form w/o shattering) can save you a bit here and there and realistically, I would only do this if you were going to take the guts of the doors out.

All else fails, turn it into a convertable.
