spare tire and tools, take out your backseats, gives you an excuse to not drive a whole bunch of moochers home

Basically... if you want to reduce the weight of the car without changing the interior.
1) gut the stereo
2) remove A/C
3) Switch to a manual steering rack (remove P/S)
4) get lightened bumpers
5) body panels such as hood and fenders can be redone in CF
6) remove all the loose stuff like spare tire and stuff.
7) drain the windshield washer bottle and remove
8) light wieght wheels and tires
9)remove the front seats and replace with light wieght racing seats
10) replace steering wheel and remove passenger side air bag.
of course this list contains some removl of safety features I am not responsible if you do these mods and hurt yourself or ours because of these mods.
