take out the seats, windows.....definatly if you have tint. Winsheild whipers and the paint.

You could take out the spare tire to drop a few pounds.

....CF hood, window replacements, lose spare, bye bye system, racing seats, light rims.....Too costly for any noticeable change IMO though.

[wontonjohnny]

true....

For every 100 pounds you lose, you drop .1 second off your quarter mile time.

jon- yeah ur back...LOL.

I agree Im glad im small and light faster car!!!! I am tearing out my entire interior, and I have my spare out but I want a CF hood with scoops bad that hood is so heavy! I heard drillin in holes in the frame but not willing to do it myself.....yet!

Hey i have an 86' mr2, do you think takin' the spare out of the front would do anything to my handling? bad or good?

[jwa276]

it would definitely increase acceleration, but maybe only slightly. a better increase in acceleration for u is a manual tranny swap but then again, that is by no means free...

how heavy is a hood?

I think this is right
Reg hood = 45-60 pounds
CF hood = 10-20 pounds ?

I really want a CF hood but there are no scooped ones out yet for gen 3!
