Also, I specified the torque stars from Grand Prixs

 

fat fives are lighter

 

To the original poster...

What are your plans for the car? Are you just trying to beat other cars from red light to red light? Or do you plan to take it to the drag strip and compete seriously?

Because if you plan on doing some serious racing with it. You might as well just get yourself a different car as a daily driver, and just go all out with the Monte. Removing the interior, install a turbo, the whole works. Or maybe just keep the Monte as your daily driver, and just use the Acura to race with.

Pulling the crash bar, the power steering, and all kinds of other stuff out of your Monte just to beat some guy in his Honda Civic from the red light, seems a little overkill. Far be it from me to discourage performance upgrades. I just want to get an idea of what it is your overall plan is.

 

ok here is some ideas for you: (what i did to mine) front racing seats, AC delete, cruise delete, abs delete, take out the dash and drill holes in the metal dash with a 2" hole saw. not to many to lose the rigidness of it thou, cut the ends of the crash bar off (front and back) dont remove the whole thing, engine cover, engine hoist brackets, egr delete, evap delete, (i did heater delete as well)you could possibly remove the rear seat and install racing seats there to but idk how it would look (i removed my rear seat) trunk carpet manual locks and windows, radio delete, strip all the unneeded wires from everything u just deleted. i would never delete the power steering IMO.

now the last thing to do to make the car lighter is make the driver lighter

if your already skinny then you dont have this choice but i know me being 280lbs i could save 60-80lbs right there in the weight of the car

 

Welcome and good luck on the car

 

If it is your daily, why bother making it light and a hassle to drive every day. Just have a nice comfy daily, 2 races cars are a pain in the butt, especially when someones cart rolls into your door and it pops in and breaks all of the glass inside.
