shedding weight
- Thread starter b005t3d
- Start date
ac compreessor, if it does not work and you have no intention of repairing it then that would help it weighs an approximate 52 lbs.
1: Stop going to Burger King / McDonalds
2: AC compressor, AC lines, ect ect
3: Rear seats, Rear Set Belts
4: Panels
5: Antenna
6: Sound Dampening Material ( which weighs more then you think )
7: Lighter seats, stock ones are retardedly heavy, especially the 18 way adjustable
8: Spare, Tools
At least thats what I have done... it feels alottttttt lighter / better. I had a guy with an upgraded turbo + the works tell me my stock Supra felt faster... with just this done.

The fastest easiest way to shed a lot of weight is to completely gut your interior. Do that and you will learn the value of performance
Sorry but supra fourms doesnt work for all of us please can some post the info here for new supra owners

Hell yes........ I notice a lot of Supras tend to do their own, unwanted weight reduction..... it kinda flakes off every so often.... :biglaugh:
no problemo! i found that doing a search on the Supra Forums awhile back. according to the LBs off that list i've taken off 157 lbs so far, more to come of course, but not many things i can do for free anymore haha. soon i'll have to buy aftermarket parts to drop weight =P well a more effective way to drop weight of the car is to lose weight yourself haha i've lost 10 lbs so far after 2 weeks on a Low Carb Diet LOL it sucks but it's effective...
i am at 3050 i wana break the 300o mark so bad i may do that wiht eh next up coming cage

Mainly you need to make sure you take out wieght evenly front to back. I think that the car will start to feel a little funny if you do not.
yeah, imma gt to it early tomorrow. ide like to drop 200 off it tomorrow just by strippin git . i think its possible. i think more than that is possible but well see. ill weigh everything too.mkIIIman089 said:
i've stripped out
all speakers, deck, all interior in the rear, power antenna, rear wiper motor, and some sound deadening stuff, and a few other things, but as i said from the LBs on that PDF file i lost 157, if you just strip out the things i did, and remove the AC stuff you'll make 200.

ide like to lose as much as possible but ide settle for 200 in one day with no costEric_Odie said:
i was thinking about also removing the TEM System, i was told it was a good a little under 10 lbs. but then the supra wouldn't handle as good stock =P
I found an 89 non turbo 5spd that was an auto-x car. The body's in good shape but the interior is fully gutted with a full cage (that you have to climb over to get in) harnesses, race suspension (with sway bars and tower braces), no bumper supports, no creature comforts. Just radiator, engine, trans, body. It's gotta be down around 2500lbs. I could buy it for $500 and drop in my spare 7m-gte for pretty cheap. Then I'd finish stripping it (headlights and other useless crap). Whatta ya think? Should go pretty quick
