The weight reduction process begins
I started the weight reduction process today with mpg in mind, because it is free and I have a little time. I took the spare tire jack and my tools and found some kind of DIY sounds deadener below the spare tire. I ripped the carpet out when I first bought the car and because the heater core was leaking and after replacing it. I couldn't get the smell of antifreeze out of the cabin. I've also changed out the original exhaust manifold with a two piece header when I first purchased the car, because it had a huge crack at the top O2 sensor. I weighted everything I pulled today and it was 48.3lbs, this not including the carpet and manifold. I took pictures but I can't upload them, as soon as I figure it out I'll post them. Any more weight reduction tips will be greatly appreciated. If anyone knows how to remove the original sound deadener without scrapping it out, I would love to know.
