    agreed. next time you post a subject that has already been covered we'll make it a point to bash the hell out of you for not searching since you so frankly said you dont feel like searching.

          CF or fiberglass hood

          Removing AC

          Removing sound deadening material in cabin

          Remove the back seats, spare, carpet

          lightweight wheels



          All those things could loose you one- to two-hundred pounds.

                    Re: Weight Reduction

                    Wasn't there a GXP.R car with fill carbon fiber body? Maybe there's someone who could smuggle out parts of it! That would be so great.

                      Doesn't the polycarbonate yellow after a while? I know that some of them do, but I'm not positive it's that one.


                      Either way though, cost per pound lost probably isn't worth it.

                        it has been discussed before. the gxp.r body panels probably almost all different.

                                I have a CF hood, 17" lightweight wheels, straight exhaust so no muffler or resonator, no spare tire, no spoiler, and half a dash right now and trust me I haven't noticed much of a difference. I guess the only thing I've got out of it is being able to say I have one of the lightest coupes on the site. Really thinkin bout It, do I hav the lightest coupe on here??lol
