Pretty much what everybody else said: a/c, p/s, aluminum hood,etc. However there are a couple of other things you can do to get your weight down. Here are a couple of hard core racing weight saving tips:



1.) Remove unwanted body panels. They are just for looks anyways.

2.) You can do the "drivers seat mod." This would be a good time to upgrade to 4 point harnesses as well.

I would worry more about driving then picking flower petals.

buy some carbon sheet and learn how to make composites https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



fabricate any non strutural steel out of aluminum instead. get rid of those wings, buy light rims and aluminum racing coil-over shocks, clean the car out (no system), and start losing weight yourself



ppl beat me all the time cuz i'm tall (6'4") and heavy (280lbs)
