shaved off another few pounds - Lone Star Stangs

tire · 03-14-2004, 09:46 PM

!bracket for brake controller harness in trunk (velcro'd now) - .5lbs
!bracket for some lines under front bumper (zip ties) - .5lbs
!hood insulation - 3lbs?
!spoiler - 8lbs
!front sway/endlinks - 25-30lbs
weld wheels, total of 50lbs lost, give or take 5lbs
!power driver's seat - 30lbs
!padding under carpet - 5lbs
!center console/bracket for trash bin - 3-5lbs?
!some misc crap i forget

approx. 115-135lbs

i'm looking to get it light while looking decent inside and out. i'm not going to gut it or go extreme, but i will be making some sacrifices. right now i have 0$ to work with for weight reduction, but maybe one day that'll be different. there are probably 10-20lbs of brackets throughout the car that can be replaced by zip ties or plastic substitutes of some sort.

how do you remove your windsheild washer fluid jug? i got up underneath there and i still couldn't figure out how it was attached. there are two bolts that hold the battery holder in place, but it doesn't touch the washer fluid resoviour.

stock race weight: 3,170lbs (car only)
new race weight: maybe 3,050lbs?

what car is this and what are you doing the weight reduction for

I believe that you have to take out the innerfender well to remove the washer fluid reservoir
