Gotcha. I've seen his and they are awesome. Didn't know if there was any other options

I made my own, so I don't know what to tell you there. Just some leftover rollcage tubing.

Got anymore left over? LOL. I don't have the skill to do that sadly

Spare tire?

dekan513 · 07-17-2013, 08:25 PM

find u some square tubing or round and have mounts put on the ends. they are simple easy to fab something up. i took mine off and its fairly straight design with a light bend and mounting plates. i know , i know its not safe but **** it. thats about 40+ lbs . if i wreck it its probably gonna be bad anyway lol.

If you got in a collision, it would be very dangerous. There are some light tubular options on the market, or you could just sawzall the bar in half lengthwise like I did originally to save on weight.

Thanks!! I'll hold on to my crash supports for now since its a 99% street car. I'm planning on going to the 1/4 this summer, wanna have the most out of it! I think 90lbs is gonna be helpful!

dekan513 · 08-19-2013, 04:26 PM

need some help guys, im pulling out some weight and so far ive got
17 lb braille
20 lb driver and passenger seats
front and reat bumper supports
front sway bar and end links
the spare tire hole is cut out and flat now
got the exhaust about right under the front seats. i have a magnaflow 2.5 comp series exhaust and i just used the resonated x pipe . so it wont be so loud . just using the front section atm...
need more ideals that wont ruin the car. like stuff u cant see. my next move is littles for the front. i dont make bank so i have to keep things cheap for now.

Mr. Nasty · 08-19-2013, 05:40 PM

what your weight as of now? Am try to cut some also after the S/C and the 4l80 trans I was at 4180

dekan513 · 08-20-2013, 08:12 AM

Not sure , but I'm guessing about 200 or so less ATM. I'm gonna find somewhere to weigh the car soon

Synner · 08-20-2013, 01:29 PM

Pull up the carpet and remove the sound insulation. Free except for time. Rear seat can be pulled and put back in whenever. Windshield washer bottle/pump/lines.

dekan513 · 08-20-2013, 01:45 PM

i can do the carpet, good ideal. i got the windshield stuff out and the fuse box moved , the + terminal under the hood all that is gone aswell.
how hard are the dashes to pull?

WBrady · 08-20-2013, 02:10 PM

Not hard. getting them back in and lined up so all the bolts and push tabs match, however...

Mr. Nasty · 10-04-2013, 11:06 AM

My weight was not as bad as I thought. Dug up my old weight ticket from 8/13/12 it's 4120lb. Been cutting weight all summer got it down to 3760lb and going for more. Both are with out me and a 1/2 tank of gas.
