You do realize weight of spare is the same as weight adjustment performed during typical corner balancing with only 20-25lb adjustments. Exaplen: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22083 Now you are actually removing the weights.

The weight of spare is also equivalent to 1/2 tank of fuel. And the difference that you can feel or no?

- Very irate gas station attendant for pouring 7 gallons of gas on his lot

- MOE fine for environmental impact if gas flows off the pavement
- Gas from the huge pool splashing up under your car as you drive away could catch fire
- Your car would smell like crap for at least an hour or two

You're speaking to a totally different experience (racing, I think) than the normal DD experience most everyone else who drives this car has. Is a 25 lbs weight difference (if its even that much) that much more noticeable to me? No. Am I going to be that anal about my car? F*ck no, I'm going to enjoy it as it is and not make relatively tiny adjustments just so I can think it feels better without any objective proof of major benefit. I'm just not that hardcore, sorry.

But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night, dude.

well it's 30lb of wheel and 30lb of fuel removed. there is a change, at least that's the case with 2015 stock. ima putting back the spare cuz the car becomes floppy low fuel

I've already gotten one flat on I395 right before a road trip, if the nail hadn't mostly plugged the hole it would have had me stuck somewhere in the district waiting for a tow truck to headbutt its way through traffic, should I have taken out the spare. There is always construction around here generating road debris.

20 lbs, 30 lbs, please be consistent if you are going to claim that amazing amount of difference that nobody else apparently can feel.

There is indeed a difference with 50lb-60lb of weight removed comparable to what you 'should' experience with an empty tank vs full tank.

You do realize that the 20 gallons of gas you put in your tank is 7 gallons more than it hold right?
You can't even get a basic spec right but you expect us to believe everything else. Grow up dude and come back with real facts not your teenage daydreams.

Obviously it's just a typo as specified in the edit history.

You know the 40liter/30lb difference you feel driving near empty tank vs full tank or not?
if yes, what I'm describing is the drive feeling you get from further 30lb deduction.
if no, maybe lose some weight

No I do not notice any difference when dding. And what would my weight have to do with anything? It remains the same with a full or empty tank.
I am sure that with your obvious extensive track time and advanced skill from many years of driving race cars you can tell the difference though.

Because your fat could potentially damp the underdamped motion. Yeah I agree corner balancing is pointless since no effect will ever be felt by shifting weights 20-50lb or so. Save the 300 bucks for something else.

Why do you think I have fat?
And again how would my constant weight work into your theory?
If balanced to my weight then it does not matter if 100 or 500 pounds.
