cost-free, DIY methods for BRZ weightsaving

[prest1ge]

We all know how the ft86 is different from most cars out there-- its engineers were primarily focused on decreasing the following's denominator:

power/mass

Many of us on the forum have showed great interest in further lightening the car by replacing major parts such as the wheels, exhaust, and seats. Considering how obsessed we are about weight-savings, I find it interesting how the following free and simple modifications have yet to appear in a discussion:

1.Diet
2.Exercise

Are you kidding, in America we pay for weight reduction, we don't work for it. NOTE: this is a joke.

I plan on gutting the whole interior and driving it via remote control from a truck behind it

Don't forget to pump the inside with helium first.

While some will benefit more than others in regards to diet and exercise, I totally agree with the underlying message here.

I think we can all come to an agreement that this is, first and foremost, a "driver's car". So in that respect, the car will only perform as well as the driver. If you're in tip-top shape mentally and physically, it will translate into better performance when you take to the wheel.

BAHAHAHA

Yeah I always say the most cost effective performance upgrade for some of my friends would be a salad ... (hold the ranch dressing)

I don't know. Im way out of shape but I'm pretty sure I could beat Arnold in a street race.

I'm 6' 2" and weigh 145lbs soaking wet. If I lost any weight, I'd look emaciated. Not all of us are overweight, but I see your point. No offense to anyone, but I've seen at least a few "large" people buying these cars, and I gotta say you're putting the lightweight car at a disadvantage.

You gotta treat yourself to a cheeseburger!

Dude, I eat like it's my job, lol. It's a blessing and a curse that I can't gain weight to save my soul! I tried doing the P90x workout twice, ate 3,000+ calories and 200g of protein every day for months, I gained like 7lbs.

How old are you? I was really skinny into my 20s and then when my wife got pregnant and started gaining weight I started putting some on too.

I think everything happened at once. Became really busy at work so less time for sports, metabolism just completely changed on me and wife got pregnant. I think the main thing for me is just cutting out the late night snacks. But, for now, I'll settle with my car being a little less torquey than the skinny guys down the street! :P

I think im the lightest adult on this forum.. 5'6 110lb
