LittleBlue! 102 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 So I get this concept isn't for everyone but I basically drive this to and from work and never have passengers so I figured why carry around all this unnecessary weight. I've previously removed my backseats and installed sound reduction adhesive. I went back and forth on the idea but now I'm all in. I removed my front seat and it seriously weighs as much or more than all of the back seat components combined. I might have a seatbelt light on after unhooking the seat but I may be able to turn that off with Hp tuners so I will have to look into that. I'm going to order more sound reduction adhesive and see what else I can lose. Goodbye rear speakers. ✌ Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Good for hauling materials I guess. I would have left a second seat, but as I understand this is your second vehicle. I dropped a good 20lbs. by changing my radiator fan, removing plastics and removing my factory air box and tube assemblies. I'm guessing you could knock a good 200lbs+ off the car if you were willing to go to extremes. I guess this all depends how far you want to take things.

LittleBlue! 102 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 No seatbelt lights or issues. I thought I was going to regret removing the rear speakers as they barely weighed anything but I like the look better and I didn't even notice a change in audio. Link to post Share on other sites
Jim2029 3 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 So what is your fuel millage before this? and now? I'm getting 42.7MPG... doing the math not relying on the driver information center. LittleBlue! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm currently tuning my air fuel ratio to adjust for my turbo, e85, injectors, etc. My mileage is all over the place at the moment but no where near 42.7 Link to post Share on other sites
