Losing something completely useless to drop 25lbs and reduce cabin noise, all while no one being the wiser unless they are familiar with the 86 and know it should have rear seats. That’s ricer?

Combined with 175lbs of other weight reduction that no one not familiar with the 86 would have any idea was done besides 24lbs from bucket seats since that’s obvious. got me 200lbs of weight reduction with almost zero sacrifice besides money and my time, But losing rear seats only cost me about $50 and one weekend well worth it. Is that still ricer?

A 2900lbs car at 340 crank = 8.5lbs per hp
A 2700lbs car at 340 crank = 7.9lbs per hp

2900lbs divided by 7.9lbs per = 367 crank hp
So 200lbs weight reduction keeps my power to weight the same as
If instead I gained 27 hp.
Still ricer?
