Weight and Weight Distribution
 

Tubular K-member, tubular A-arms, coil-overs, battery -> trunk, bye bye back seats, lighter front seats, sound deadening.

I want to keep AC and such, are there any other options to either remove weight, or move it back?

Thanks.

Removing weight is easy (sort'a). Just pull it off and throw it away http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...board/wink.gif
No really. Determine how much you can afford to throw away. DO you want a completely gutted interior, probably not. Remove the stereo and speakers, maybe?
When I removed the interior of my car (during rollcage installation) I put each piece on a scale: seats, carpet, sound-deadening, plastic pannels... Most everything came out very small, with the exception of under-the-carpet sound deadening. THAT was like 40#.
Lightening the car with new pieces can get expensive. THe k-member and coilovers is a great investment. (I am doing that this winter).

Its a street car, so I'm going to keep the stereo (hell-ov-a nice stock system) and such, but its getting more and more exotic as time goes by. The Griggs fairy just came today actually, hello 3 link (love that TA dif cover).

At some point (6 months probably) I'll probably go to the Griggs K-member, tubular A-arms, and turn my Tokicos into coil overs (which suposity works well).

I'm just trying to figure out what else I can do to work on that hefty weight and nose heavy balance w/o losing too much of the street friendliness.

Anyway, thanks.

You could possibly do new lightweight seats( I did that).
Or remove A/C (still to do).
Or fiberglass hood (just did that).
Or more Griggs pieces (doing that)... http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...oard/smile.gif

I'd hold off to see what the Griggs SLA is like... should be sweet, but it's supposed to have unique LCA's etc.
