94-95... dropping weight.

[ADRENA LYNN]

Taking someone else's advise. So im making this thread. What are some ways to drop weight on the 94-95s? Ive done a few things allready but would like some more ideas.

have alum heads, intake.front bumper stuff removed, fender wells removed.

whats some other methods to reduce weight, but still have the same look. I know you can do rear seat deletes but it doesnt keep the stock look.

just throw out ideas.

Thanks,

What the heck is the weight for? I'm assuming its for a balance of some sort?

Ford sayd its there to reduce cowl shake. Needless to say my car doesn't vibrate without it and its a PITA to get out.

when I see brackets I dont need, I remove them...... easy.

there is one by the computer, you only need one horn up in the fender

the brackets behind the rear wheels, its a rubber wedge with a piece of metal.... several little thing slike this. passenger's airbag.

I even have the rear seat bracket removed, but the seats still there. you will have to fasten the top foam headrest though, so it does not fly off under hard braking.

Ill think of some more I have done or might do. and post them up.

right now, i am 3070
I have removed smog pump, front sway bar, rear seat bracket and I yank the rear cushions at the track in seconds, dogbone.... and miscelaneous little brackets. Oh I have no trunk carpet. tahst 4 pounds. but I'd like it back. no jack and spare.

What's your combo by the way as you run some nice times in the 1/4 list above. I've never seen you on here before and didn't know, that's why I ask.

remove the engine, tranny, exhaust, and floor board and do like Fred Flinstone!
