A MUST for you guys producing high horse/ nitrous applications. took me about 2 hours to install in the rain and once i got it in, i would never look back. The car just Goes, when i tell it to go. Your old front mount WILL be almost destroyed at 100 no matter how you drive. Mine was cracked and FUCKED UP BAD. ANYWAYS JUST wanted tolet you guys know NOW onto my question
Theres a track ( auto X ) and drag opening about 30 mile away from my apartment. I want to reduce some weight. my first question is, how much does the rear seat weigh. I already stripped my trunk of all carpet and what not. Im purchasing rear strut tower brace as well to keep my chassis stiff and the tires and suspension working 100 during hard turning ( front brace as well ) I guess im selling my rear seats if im taking them out. What else can i take out to reduce weight without COMPLETELY stripping my car down. ( IE: i want to keep my cd player and door panels
Just strip it so its more of a 2 seater. Also, theres a very heavy weight in the front bumper i want to take out. Anyone done this ?

i guess i gotta pay a little more attention to that. i know this might sound stupid but when i attempt to do burnouts the whole front end shakes and the wheels hop like crazy and for the most part i barely spin. and before any of you tell me burnouts are all around are bad for your car, i already know this.
