Adding lightness
 
Hi,

I'm looking for possibilities to save weight but want to keep the stock look.

The lightweight battery is already installed at the front.

Next idea is the remove the sound insulation under the rear deck and replace this insulation with dynamat. And then replace the original upholstery and seats.

Is this possible? How much weight can I loose?

Thanks,

Andre

Remove the windshield washer tank/pump/hoses.... water is heavy!

Pretty funny... just get rid of the water.

The whole thing only weighs about a pound, empty.




Plus, it's in the front... you want to get rid of rear weight first.

% of weight lose won't change much of anything unless you go after many aspects that reduce street drivability. Stock Look or stock comfort. Stock look could include FG body and bumpers, and no AC.
