And I think he means just lowering the front end weight for a bit better balance. Demon, you know all about that, you've done it yourself. ROFL! I was trying to figure what I said that made him trip all over my post? Kremithefrog has it right on the money.

Originally posted by contour19: in the focus fanatic mag they have a kit to replace the back seat with carpet and a back and seat piece to make ur focus a two seater Why? And no, "to go faster" is not a viable answer. You would have to remove 100's of pounds to realize any gains, and in our carsd, there nothing that weighs any significant amount, that you can remove, to acheive this. If you want to go faster, don't be ghetto. Get a turbo or nitrous or work the motor. Driving around in a gutted Contour is far from cool, it's downright 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

There's nothing you can unbolt, realistically (discounting doors, hood, trunk etc) that'll add up to 300lb (or 250lbs for that matter) Demon weighed all of the realistic stock "unboltables" (rear seat back and bottom, spare tire, car jack, tools) and I don't think it added up to even 100lbs, so I don't buy your 300lb weight reduction. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
