Yeah i looked through like 8 pages and didnt find anything on weight reduction so does anyone know how to get the massive amount of weight off of the balt cause ive done the easy stuff like alot of plastic removal, backseats, spare tire jack rear carpet... so is there any thing else left to do

 

if you really want to go all out. take out everything but the driver seat and dash

 

Remove much more you'll be getting rid of things that are there for comfort and sound deadening. Not sure if a few pounds is worth the loss of each.

 

muffler, resonator, exhaust piping....windows, window motors...speakers, radio...gas tank (use a fuel cell)....spoiler

the engine weighs a lot, you could probably stand to lose that too! (joking of course)

 

jenny craig...

 

what measures are you looking at? I had a friend strip a CRX (which was a daily driver) and all he had in the car was the gauges (zip tied to the steering column) and a drivers seat. you could see the road from the inside.

 

A little overkill for a daily driver eh?

 

Besides replacing all the body panels with fiberglass, I don't think you are going to lose much more weight. You could also see about getting different rims and tires, sometimes you can lsoe some weight that way.

 

unsprung weight is probably the most effective way to increase your cars performance.

 

take the airbags out??

2 pound starter battery.

 

Yeah i cant go quite as extreme as the CRX guy but like how much **** is under the carpet cause i know on the older hondas the floor was covered in like this tar stuff and it weighs quite a bit i know and does 2700 pounds sound rite for a 2.4L cobalt cause when i got mine weighed the other day thats wat it was and i was prety devistated it was that heave i was hopein for like 2500-2400 but nope if i could just get it there it would be nice.

 

I don't know if you have thought of all of these, but here is the list that I made

yes he was completely stupid back then. auto-x a lot in the car as well.

 

stock 2.4'S are 2900 LBS stock

Just do mods, dont be ricer and strip your car..........

 

yeah ive done most of thoes but i need my passenger seat for the GF of course lol but yeah ive got that stuff taken care of oh you wouldnt want to sell those recaros would you just the front that is? does anyone know wat is under the floor carpet

 

DEFINITELY lighter rims. Stock rims especially if 17's and 18's they're pretty heavy... and maybe some low profile tires trust me that's A LOT of weight off. And maybe a lightweight flywheel. Those I'd say are the most weighing you down if you want to take off simple things and not literally remove your entire interior.

metal?

 

Carbon fiber hood and trunk lid?

 

wow, first time in a lil while youve been around, huh

i took out rear seats, trunk **** n pass seat... maybe almsot 200lbs so saved a few tenths at the track maybe

 

damn Adam....didnt think we'd ever see you here again!

 

Holy **** it's NJHK!

 

lightweight battery, front seat, radio, a/c components and compressor, remove glass for lexan, wiper system delete, titanium components (exhaust, etc.), driver's seat to lighter non-reclining racing setup. If you have the ss you could delete a couple of brackets like the i/c pump mount (moving it somewhere else and zip tying it). Replacing radiator and intercooler with lighter aftermarket deals. Wheels, lugs, tires. That's it.
