just wondering how to get weight out of a fox....only thing im gonna need to keep is ac and power steering
ofcourse the obvious: jack/spare stereo/speakers rear seat sound deadener lightweight racing seats getting serious: lexan windows fiberglass hood/hatch removal of unnecesary interior panels window motor/mechanisms dumps draglites/skinnies aluminum heads lightweight fuel cell what are some of the things i overlooked...im not really concerned about creature comforts |

K-member & arms.
lightweight brake calipers (ie: wilwood, strange, aerospace, etc.) aluminum CA's in the rear. Aluminum block ($$$$) Lightened featherweight crank & aluminum rods. (again. $$$$) you're covered now.
