Best weight reduction mod: fork put downs. Only mod that keeps money in your pocket

I’m trying, I’ll get under 200 again 😎

Add forged rims and titanium exhaust = stage 2 weight reduction. Id steer clear of the lithium battery though.
They make a titanium exhaust for this car already?

Water fast for a couple of weeks, will drop weight like there is no tomorrow. Tried it once for cleansing/flushing out toxins, got down to like 130 lbs, never again lol.

Depending how tall you are I would say 6ft or less you can. But it's not flush so you would need like a comforter etc.

...Just saying. I weight 130 so I am already ahead than most people in terms of car weight with the driver. People will think I am little crazy when I say this. It's nice to be thin and not carrying around weight for knees/back/ankles. My whole family and generations has zero joint issues. Eat less and stay thin, it's the way to go long term.

I also only keep a tiny bit of windshield washer fluid, always less than half tank of gas. Next thing is a lithium battery when I save enough money. Then wheels.

Bro, you are military about your lightweightedness. IMO I'd get wheels before the lithium battery, if at all. I was looking into lithium and other lightweight race batteries for my Spyder, but I concluded that the reliability and winter CCA's for those lighter batteries isn't worth the weight savings.

I hear ya, I have them speced out, should be 9.5 lbs saved each corner.
