Yes, it will change the handling characteristics of the car.... For the better.

Less weight is always a good thing. (so long as it doesn't compromise safety, structural integrity, etc.)

(link,link)

Since I'm pretty sure I'm getting a BRZ, I'm hoping we 1) don't need much static camber due to low roll, and 2) I'm right about no FR-S TSB :)
Wow, 3/4 degree adjustment? Lol

Dont forget that if you lose weight then you will be messing with the distribution that I am sure that scion designed for. This could cause over/understeering characteristics. Yes you are saving weight but at what cost.

If you take off the same amount from the front of the car you would be back to the origiional distribution.

I bet you could drop about 100lbs. from the rear without trying very hard. Spare tire and tools along with the exhaust, truck carpet. Might get you close.

trunk junk has already been weighed at 35lbs...muffler is about 40lbs..

Not bad

How about rear seat? The fold down and seat itself.

Sccabrz192 05-16-2012 02:59 PM
Cant remove seats. You will be reducing the yaw moment by removing trunk junk and muffler weight but slightly moving the cg location forward. In the grand scheme of things, you wont be able to tell from a vehicle dynamic standpoint.

Dark_Angle 05-16-2012 03:03 PM
Seats

Per class rules???

AX_FRS 05-16-2012 03:27 PM
Per class rules, you can't remove seats. You know, you could actually download the rule book in its entirity from SCCA for free. And the stock section isn't that long, only about 9 pages (if you don't count all the clarifications and classing pages).

Dark_Angle 05-16-2012 03:50 PM
That book gives me a head ache. I currently am going through a build and the SCCA rule book makes me go cross eyed. durrrrr

Sccabrz192 05-16-2012 04:27 PM
What class is your build for? Classes like mod and prepared can be really confusing. But stock, ST, and SP are pretty straight forward.

Dark_Angle 05-16-2012 04:53 PM
Street prepared if I remember correctly. I tossed that book in the trash and said screw it I was going to build the car I wanted and race it in whatever class. I gave up on trying to please the book.
