How much dead weight do you plan on leaving in the car? And what tranny are you using or going to use?

im planning to take out the sound deadning spare tire and back seats

[hyundailove]

I can tell you from self knowledge "DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING!!!" If your building a fast car the back seat and spare tire will not make a difference at all. You will need to lose 100lbs for a .01 gain in your track time. Ive taken out EVERYTHING from my car and it didnt lose 100lbs. The only thing I gained was an annoying rattle. I would love to go back to stock interior. So if you decide not to take my advice...let me get them seats!!!

I did the same thing in an AE86 i had, stripped it literally bare, heater core, dash, seats, carpet, etc. The biggest weight loss was the passenger seat i removed, the rest of the stuff i removed weighed maybe 20lbs on the high side.

I may've removed 40lbs total and in the end i hated the car, i completely ruined it. =\

My 99 Accent is 2,100lbs FYI.

Start with a lighter car. My 98 L hatch 5spd was 2087 pounds without any weight removal. I figured if I had put it on a complete class-legal diet (I raced mine in SCCA Solo's F Street Prepared (FSP) class) I'd be able to get it down to 1900 pounds or so, without resorting to aftermarket body panels or the like and keeping most of the interior.

Lightweight battery, header and no cat over the stock cast iron manifold, remove the radio, replace the driver's seat with a aluminum kirkey bucket and the passenger seat with a kart seat, remove the air bags, lighter wheels and tires (my old race wheels were heavy, about 32 pounds, I had at least 5#'s a corner to lose), remove both front and rear sway bars (and go with stiff enough springs to control body roll). This car already didn't have a/c or p/s. Make sure you run the car extremely low on gas (at the track only obviously).

You should be pretty close to running mid 14's with a beta swap with bolt-ons without any weight removal honestly.
