WEIGHT REDUCTION
Re: WEIGHT REDUCTION
My em1 is pretty bare...no heater core, no rear plastics, no sound deadening, no firewall mat, only a driver's seat, gutted the innards of the dash, removed a hell of a lot of wiring and extra bolts and stuff and it still weighed 25xx without me...I'm going to replace the driver's seat with a kirkey, I have rear skinnies to put on, gonna pull the sunroof out and put an aluminum plug in it. Don't really know what else to do besides door bars.

Re: WEIGHT REDUCTION
All the crap behind the dash on an ek weighs **** loads, also might be worth making a new dash support for the column the stock mild steel one weighs a ton. Also worth chopping off all the brackets for the rear seats.

Re: WEIGHT REDUCTION
