Weight saving - without too much work
These are all the weight saving stuff I have done anymore recommendation that don't take too much time.
remove spare and all tools - have AAA - also going to put a full spare for long trips
sl oz - cuz their light
bucket seats - 17lbs a piece both front seats
back seat delete - save like 15 lbs kinda of pointless
waiting for battery to die - to buy a light weight one
going to remove washer fluid res
fill tank 3/4 at most
get dead hookers out of the trunk
any suggestions for removing more weight from the front without loosing AC, power steering, and would like to do a sun roof delete but too lazy.
most of my upgrade has caused the front to be increase front weight like fmic, bigger turbo, adds about 50-40 lbs up the nose - which is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

make jerkey? It gets the water out
CF hood as suggested by some is not worth the price to weight. A good CF hood weights like 20 lbs and a stock hood weights 40lbs - the cost of a good run is like 600 bux -
that is like 30 dollars a pound......eeek rather use that money to get some bomb *** sways
or more of that hooker habit

If you leave them there long enough, they'll get tough and dry on their own....add lots of salt but
not too much or you'll add way too much weight.
Replacing the battery is your last worthwhile mod which you already said you're going to do later on. I have an Optima yellow top that weighs 27 pounds vs the 40 something pounds the stock battery weighs.
Good sways like H-Sports will help out with the front nose being heavy....but I still think you should get the carbon fiber hood.

washer fluid reservoir weighs practically nothing... and you will need washers
trust me.
you could get rid of all the engine covers and battery compartment plastic.
A/C is the big weight savings.
