I have a friend who is a little over 300lbs and I got in his car and the cup holders were gone. When I asked why he said weight reduction and then asked where the nearest taco bell was...

This. A couple of years ago when I was autocrossing my Miata, I lost 50 lbs in under a year, and got a little more than that out of my Miata, getting it down to just a few pounds over 2k lbs. Ten years ago I got really serious about weight reduction on my Neon, taking it from a curb weight of 2500 lbs, down to a race weight of 1986 lbs. Nothing terribly serious planned for my BRZ, but I have installed wheels that are 5-6 lbs each lighter than stock, and a muffler delete which saves 23 lbs.

Mine says I'm 4%... 5'7 105 pounds LOL teach me how to gain weight pls

[BRZPDX]

eating less, drinking water and running out side is free.

There is also a metal cover on the right side of the engine bay that is supposed to help the "cricket" noises down, which weighs about 5lbs. Rear seat delete that my friend did, I think got about 40lbs?

I say you can do about a 100lbs weight reduction on the car/own body with out sacrificing a lot.

always remember, take a poop before racing!

I nearly spit my drink out when I read this.

And it was water, and not a high calorie soda....

I use to weight probably 5 pounds more then you, one year i decide i gotta fix my body and started working out... Now i am up 30 pounds and my bmi is in a decent range. If you are serious you gotta lift and lift heavy and drink tons of protein and try supplements from test boosters to pre/post workout, vitamins and whatever else you can afford/find. Most important are working out and lots of food, lots of protein a day. Buy a gym pass and a tub of whey protein, go 3x a week, more is not often better as you need time to repair and eat. Sleep at least 8 hours a day and try and increase your quality of sleep as better sleep equals more gh release. They say you should eat 1-1.5 grams of protien for each pound you weight or want to get to, so if you want to get to 140 you should be getting at least 140 grams of protein a day, 140 grams of protein is harWd to get to through real food so supplement with whey protien. If you tracked your protien a day i bet your not eating that much which is why your body cant hold more muscle mass, that and lack of muscle stimulation. Oh when i say lift heavy, that means for you... Proper form and 4-8 range for reps. Go youtube and watch how to do excercises with proper form and how to use machines. Anyways gl i have to battle my skinny asian genes and that sucks lol.

Fat Lotus owners are the best.

I can't wait to get my 86 just so I can be the guy that debadges for weight savings. Except carbon fiber parts don't come with badges anyway, but still.

I'm a skinny guy and keep my head shaved. I guess I'm not really using these eyebrows though...

I like seeing the people who just throw money at aftermarket parts without even thinking about weight.

"Oh, there are gas-filled hood struts that makes it so I don't need to spend 0.7 seconds propping the hood up? Oh, you're making a strut tower brace, even though the car has one from the factory, and you're not doing any scientific testing to show that it actually even does anything besides increasing weight (forward and high, I might add)? Shut up and take my money!"

Half the time, weight reduction is centered around ricing out the car. "Oh, I'm going to delete my muffler, that's 6 pounds, it will almost make up for my JDM weighted shift knob".

yeah i'm sitting at 158 with like 13% body fat, which is on the emaciated side of normal...sooo I'm gonna shed weight by taking stuff out of my car, cant really lose much more

I am 6' 2" and weigh 145lbs soaking wet. Weight reduction on the driver is highly unadvisable.
