Just eat a lot of salad. You don't have to "gut your interior." **** that sounds painful!

are you sure of this?



my buddy has one in his garage since he just repainted his engine bay and claims there's no way it weighs more than 5lbs, with the pump on it even.



perhaps you mean full of fluid?

step 1: Remove engine,transmission, and read diff assembly from car



step 2: cut hole in floor



step 3; buy rigging, a mast, and some sails



step 4: pray for wind

You can switch to manual steering, get an aluminum hood, take off all the heatshields, air pump & emissions stuff, get lighter wheels and tires, put a piece of lexan in place of the sunroof if you have one and dont care... :mullet:

Just wondering, but does 30 lbs make that big of a difference speedwise?
