I removed the backseat from my 73Celica an put in a carpeted and padded platform for my dog to ride. Thats the only passenger I ever wanted riding in the back with me.

i should do that do , since everytime i got my chow with, the damn dog wants to shift the car for , either that , or the little son of a gun, wants to go down where the gas pedal is, its only a matter of time b4 i get into an accidnt, if i keep doing this, i already know this

(maybe then you guys can see that part-out thread you predicted for me)lol

Im going to take my whole interior apart on my turbo, because its getting a cow/black treatment (below for those who care). Im gona see how much it all weighs and do a nice write up of it. Although it may take a few weeks, so dont expect it soon. And i dont mean the plastic, The carpet and padding and seats/brackets and things like that, of substantial weight. Im also going to weld up all the little seams that are spot welded. Around the windshield, along the floor, around the hatch mounts, all that. And im going to replace the carpet padding and sound deadening with dense sheet foam(light) and spray foam in the hollow spaces.

hahah I just had to add to this. I personaly have aftermarket bucket racing seats( AAA racing, 7 lb's max) and not much more as far as weight reduction. When I go to the track, this is before I started installing a jdm, I would take the spare out and all the bs in the car and at 11 lb's of boost I could hardly break 14.7 sec. They say with up to $75,000 invested your only looking at a 30% weight reduction. So good luck.

Im not leaving the interior out, Im painting it and putting it back in. Im weighing it all for other people. lol. I just plan to offset the weight with boost. I like all my comfy supra stuff. . And that sucks...I know a guy with a grand national that runs 12 lbs of boost and he ran a 12.9. Yours should be a little faster than 14.7. And i dont see where that 75k is going, Remaking all the body panels from CF? Thats a lot of money. That is like...23-2500 lbs tho. Thats pretty light.
