Any cheap lightening for a Fox convertible?

91LXConv · 04-20-2001, 02:09 PM

Now that I've got the 3.73s in, my car really hauls. However, you can really feel feel her weight from a stop. I'm considering front seats, but besides that, I'm pretty clueless as to any other weight removal. Remember this is a non-track, all street car!
Thanks

Hood, A/C, battery to rear (redistribution of weight is good), rear seat removal.

Fiberglass hood, aluminum heads, hehe, different seats, sound deadning.

Really, I'd invest in more power, screw the weight, get hook, subframes and power man.

Get a PI stallion 2600-2800rpm stall converter and say goodbye to the feeling of extra poundage with torque multiplication!
