what things can be remove the reduce the vehicle's weight?

get rims.........

 

mm .........yea then it will be very hard to loss weight if u don't want to change the rims . cause i hear that our stock GTS rims are very heavy

 

also maybe u can lower your car little bit with lowing spring that help a little bit for weight i am not too sure but it also it increase handling and over all performace

 

You can always get an RRM pulley which really helps, especially off the line.

A carbon fiber/fiber glass hood, trunk would help too.

 

is there a FG hood any where, i'll prolly go with that cheaper and almost the same in weight as CF.

 

u can also get a cf trunk.. and ive seen a cf roof too actually alot of cf = saves alot of weight but then again = $$

 

maybe u can also remove the back headrest

 

IMO, if you were worried about the take off speed of the car, you should have gone with a different car.

Did you not test drive the car first? haha.

I laugh when people are looking for weight saving ways on a 152 hp car, especially if its just for gas mileage and not the track. If it were track, gut the whole thing but the seat and roll cage that "beast"

 

^^^ not everyone can afford an evo... if everybody could afford fast car why would they even buy a slower car in the first place..

 

Very true, I never said 'you should have bought an evo'

Depending on his level of GTS, he could be upwards of the low 20's in price. Mine, personally was 23ish, so I could have easily gotten a base '08 SI, but I wanted navi and all the tech stuff so I chose the GTS. I was just pointing out that for the price he probably paid for his car, there are lighter/faster out there. Thats all.

 

the best thing you can do, is reduce weight in non-suspended parts (there's a term for those parts but it's just not comming to mine... unsprung?) that includes and most importantly... the rims/tires... forgot the exact equation, but depending on how big and heavy ur rims/tires are, you will drastically reduce the weight of your car... ok think of it like this... lets say you get rims/tires that are only 5 lb less... now ok, 5*4 = 20 lb less... however... u have to remember, this is rotational inertia and weight on the outside of the rim weighs "more"... kind of think of it like a wrench, it's easier to turn a bolt w/ a longer wrench... ne way what i'm getting at... is those 20 lbs ur saving on all the wheels... actually converts to about (like i said i can't remember the exact conversion) but somewhere between 2-4 times as you actually would, so lets just say 3 to be in the middle... so those 20 lb ur saving on wheels, is equivilant to taking 60 lb off the chassis... see... rims are important, very important =)...

*edit* you could always lose weight

 

yup agree rims are the main thing for loss weight

 

our rims and tires together weigh 42 lbs each.. can anyone confirm this? I only heard it on the forums.

 

42 lb EACH O___o

 

deffinetly not 42 lbs each unless "maybe" if u have steelies

 

Only give rides to skinny passengers.
