Default Re: weight reduction G/SA nova

Any wiring that is not needed. For me the seat deal was not what is was cracked up to be in regards to weight. It all depends on what the current seats are, vs how much fabricating and additional mounting material you have to add. I saved a whopping 30 lbs total. Not worth the time and money, should have just redone the stock seats. Look at everything in the car. What is really needed. Remove sound deadener, insulation and heavy carpet. Fab brackets from aluminum, if its non structural, aluminum hardware. Lighten stuff up by windowing holes. Take a box and place everything in it as it is removed. Put the box on a scale, and you may be surprised how much it adds up. The front brakes on my car was worth at least 30#, and money well spent.
