I guess every little bit, if you really work at it, can reduce a lot of weight. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I didn't even think about my own weight. There's an issue too!
Since those posts I have taken another 32 lbs out of it, but added some 195/50/15 tires and rims that added that same 32 lbs back onto it but it looks MUCH nicer than the stock 13s did. The added wt of those rims did not hurt FE since the 51 psi 15s roll further than the 35 psi 13s. During the summer I plan on getting rid of 4 lbs per corner by using 175/55/15s instead. I might even get another set of lighter 15 in rims too....so the rims/tires in the following pics might be put up for sale when it warms up.
