Guys, I can't find the old lightweight threads? I was thinking about putting my 2.0 on a diet--street only, but I want to go the Elise route--ultra minimalist.

Here is a list of big hitters:
Replace hood, trunk and bumpers with fiberglass. Pull the firewall mat out of the engine compartment Pull the firewall mat out from behind the backpad Pull the backpad out and carpet behind your seats If you can go without heat replace heat exchanges with header system and lightweight muffler. Remove the floor tar Get the lightest wheels and tires you can find. Those are the big ones, but there are lots of small things you can do. Just depends how functional you want your car when its on the street. |
