    Default GC's Diet!

    Thought today that I'd shave some weight from my GC and remove some things that arn't really needed in a sports coupe..

    Removed:
    -Spare tire
    -Back seat
    -Rear panels
    -Center console
    -Trunk liners
    -Rear deck

    Scale weight before shaving: 3297lbs
    Scale weight after shaving: 3043lbs

    pic of me shaving weight:

    Take some of that stuff out of your trunk & you'll shave off a few more pounds.
    Don't forget to pull out the rear seatbelts. You won't be needing them if the seat is out.

    If you really want to do some serious bariatric surgery you'll need a sawzall & a box of metal cutting blades.
    Don't forget your gloves & goggles.
