Pulling out the rear seats and seatbelts save about 40 lbs. Yeah 100lbs=0.1 1/4 performance, and 40lbs=0.04s. It may not seem like much, but it is the same ratio, and even better if you want to look at gas mileage considering its a DD.

You are building a car from the ground up while Im trying to improve my car based on my own opinions & tolerances. Rear seats~heat, and I am still comfortable in cold weather.

You don't have bumper grids, don't lie.


I think we can knock the brackets off with a hammer and drill for the spot welds. This weekend?
