go on a diet,get smaller friends

ive got a 94 gsr and to be quite honest with u, u really dont need to do all that. boost it if u need more power. if u do wanna shed some wieght start with the ac and take all that off. u can take all the sound dampening stuff out. change the clutch n light weight fly wheel. i mean theres plenty of ways to lighten it without taking the seats out completely but u really dont need 2. keep the integrety of the car and just build the motor and trans. the cars really fast anyway

anthony21580 i agree with him, besides the obvious less people, a simple secret most racers know about is if your going to race race with about a 1/4 tank of gas or maybe less keep in mind it weights about 8lbs per 1 gallon so 10gallons = 80lbs in just gas 2gallons = 16lbs so 64lbs saved, carbon fiber is another way to make a car lighter, and if your making it a track only car they have light weight glass which can save you alot of lbs.
