[QUOTE="nikstang, post: 890905, member: 9839"] Given all that has been listed, serious or joking all would reduce weight yes, but what if you are trying to achieve the most needless weight. Such as on a D/D that you would like to leave A/C, P/S, Power Windows, etc. for convenience. I just want to drop some weight to help MPGs. I have tuned the EGR and cruise parameters and gained +5 mpg, and hoping for more if I can drop say 25-75lbs. I am thinking of removing the rear seat [hardly ever use it except for storage]. Parts already gone/added: All the panels are out of the trunk Strut brace Fog Lights and mount brackets Air Pump and all plumbing along with it 'Dog-Bone' from Diff. Added K-member brace [2-point UPR] Aluminum Pulleys [Idler/Tensioner] & PBR Front Calipers Saleen Front Bumper Headers BBK o/r x-pipe, MAC x-back '04 Center Console FRP Lower A-Arms Nitrogen in Tires What else can be cut/removed and still have the D/D comforts/accessories? Other than what is already listed, most of which I have done even if not listed above. That is just a brief idea on what I have already started with and just looking for ideas that I may not have thought of already. I will never remove my Spare & Jack [tires do go flat; learned my lesson on that one]. Coming back from the track had a blow out, 57 miles from home with no spare. Never ever again; you can always take it out at the track if you are needing to loose weight there. [/QUOTE]
