I think you can take out the metal backing plates in the front seats. Drill holes throughout the chassis. Pull out the interior and melt the tar away. Remove battery after you start the car or just get one like 2point6 has. Magnesium wheel lugs and lighweight rotor hats. Get CF parts and paint them.

Take your front bumper off and there is a big weight in the bumper cover. You can take that out. It weighs almost 10 pounds.

why don't you just get rid of unspring weight (weight in the wheels).

saving every pound of unspring weight possible (without compromising safety and durability) makes a much bigger difference than removing weight from inside the car.

it also helps braking tremendously.

have to second that. Get rid of as much unsprung weight. Get a set of lightweight 15" or 16" wheels with lighterweight tires. Ask for the specs from where ever your looking at although you can also plug into google "wheel weight [SSR]". I've seen some webmasters that post EVERYTHING...even stock wheel weights. My (sweet-looking) 7spoke 94-95 wheels are kinda heavy tho

Move as much weight to the center of the car. If you have a toolbox in the trunk, somehow strap it down on the floorpan behind the front passenger's seat. Remove anything heavy uptop (i.e. put the Thomas Guide on the ground and off the top sill). Recline your passenger seat all the way back. Try as much to get weight low and to the center of the car. Get that **** out of the glove-box.

Thats hardcore gangsta y0!

Edit: Do you move it all the way back or forward? I'm guessing back because more weight is in front. LMAO!
