I took out everything that i did not need to drive the car. I have almost no interior I removed all interior panels, carpet, sound deading material, rear seat, console, everything in the trunk, A/C, heater core and the brake booster. My car did not have tilt, power door locks or power windows. I put in a manual steering rack, fiberglass deck lid, hood, tubular k-member and a arms, aluiminum radiator, aluminum drive shaft, aluminum heads, electric water pump, electric fan, weld wheels, Aerospace brakes, and we also cut out some of the steel bracing on the interior. instead of spending a lot of money on the engine I spent what I had on light parts and getting rid of EVERTHING that you do not need to make the car work on the street. I do not drive this car everyday I have a 96' Cobra that is my everyday car. I just wanted to make my LX a fun car. It is fun to race but loud and boring to drive and you need good weather with no heat or A/C I would only recomend doing this if you have another car to drive. The weight does not include me in the car. Now if i can just get a transmission to hold up.
