i went out for a cruise and stopped by the truck scales on the way home.. the car weighs 3560 with me in it. talk about a fat bitch!

i need more weight reduction but i don't want to strip my car, and i'll most likely end up leaving my AC in.

so far this is my weight reduction:

aluminum flywheel
removed bumper supports and foam
no spare or jack
trunk is completely gutted
removed blocks behind rear tires

the aluminum flywheel, gutting the trunk, and removing the bumper supports free'd up 60lbs.. i'm thinking aluminum driveshaft will be the next thing i get as far a weight reduction goes. any other easy **** i can take off without making my car ugly/loud?

if i do:

tubular k member/a arms
alum driveshaft
remove A/C (probably won't but i'll add it anyways just in case i decide to)
prostars (already have the rears)

my car would be down to about 3380 with me in it.. if i do racing seats and rear seat delete it should shed another 100 lbs weighing me in at around 3280.. that would be a good goal.. seats will probably be the last thing to get swapped out though
