weight reduction - any ideas?
So, reducing weight is a performance mod that is easier than upping horsepower, and it directly impacts power to weight ratio. I couldn't find a thread that lists good ways to reduce weight and keep a car streetable, so here we go...
How much weight does removing the bumper rebars and keeping the cover save (86+ I think)
How about all carpet, and sound padding?
Carpet in trunk?
plastic in frunk?
Plastic in wheelwells?
plastic body kit?
Door panels?
spare tire (only while racing)
what other areas can be cut? How much weight can be cut without completely stripping it (removing dash, doorpanels, etc. etc.)
Don't have an mr2 yet, but I'm shopping around. Soon maybe.
thanks,
GM
