will i gain any thing by takingoutmy seats at the track???

 

[JBIGBOOTSY]

just the front passanger seat. 64lbs.

 

[JBIGBOOTSY]

72lbs. if you have a sweaty ass.

Rule of thumb is 1/10 sec faster per 100# removed (1/4 mile). Front weight removal is better, need the weight in the rear for traction and it will help with lift and transfer.

 

[Tony_90fox]

not worth it to me...

 

[Burn'nRubber]

How heavy is the back seat?

 

[JBIGBOOTSY]

5lbs for the bottom, mabe 15 per side for the tops.

 

[Iwannagofast]

yeah i heard it was only maybe 50 lbs for the whole back seat

you're better off removing the serpentine belt at the track, easy 3 or 4 tenths

I just went out to the shop and weighed my seats to see how much they weighed and...
Front seats ~37lbs each
Rear bottom ~10lbs
Rear back ~12lbs

These are out of an 88' LX Coupe (4 banger, soon to be 347). And no I didn;t have anything better to do.

are you serious/?

 

[86_Notch]

are you serious/?

absolutely, cool your car off as much as possible, do a short burn out, stage, make a pass, turn on the return road, pop the hood reinstall the belt and get your time slip, works everytime and can be worth as much as 3 - 5 tenthsand 2 - 3 mph depending on what accessories and pulleys you have, keep in mind your steering will be a little harder but nothing unmanageable , no your car won't overheat in such a short time

I knew the car wouldnt overheat but i cant believe it will help that much!I mean i knew it help it but 2-5 tenths is alot to gain.

i was running high 13.30s to low 13.40s @ 101 - 102, i pulled the belt and clicked off a string of 13.0s and i even cracked off a couple of very high 12.90s @ 105 - 106 , the engine revved a whole lot quicker then usual too

Cloth and dirty as hell. Getting new ones or going to have these redone, not sure yet.
