[@danfriesen4417]

Good list. I've done every single one plus more. Factory sunroof was replaced with tin panel dropping another 25 lbs. Another one I highly DONT recommend but have done personally is removed front and rear metal bumpers, each weighing about 50 to 60 lbs if I remember. 83 GT weighing 2650 lbs last time I checked. Still haven't done tubular front suspension yet and zero fiberglass or lexan on the car. All steel and glass. Feels like your driving a go cart with a V8 at this weight. 👍

[@PaulDaFox]

Hey dan, I hear ya about the bumpers; they’re big weight but I didn’t include them in this video as I’m going to do a follow-up video and recommend removing the bumpers but installing the tubular supports. I’ve ran no bumpers as well and my front nose pushed in without the tubular support. That said, you have a wicked light car. The fox in my background is a tin can as well but haven’t weighed it yet. Thanks for your great comment and for watching. Really appreciate it 🦾🏁

@@PaulDaFox I have already done the sound deadening and rear seat. I used a putty knife and for the tough stuff a cable wheel on my angle grinder. I primed and Lizard skinned it afterwards. I need to keep the handling stuff in the car and definitely AC/heat since I use it for a secondary driver. Seats and lightweight wheels are a great idea for track days.

A few other weight removing mods to consider -- Cutting out the Stamped metal K member and going to a Tube-welded K Member from QA1, etc will shave off 175lb. Replacing the Stamped metal control arms and using Tube-welded control arms will shave off 25 lbs or so. And finally swapping out the hood with a carbon fiber hood will save 25lbs or so

[@PaulDaFox]

Morning Patrick, you have some great additions to the list there - thank you!

How much weight would you lose if you deleted the OEM steering wheel, airbag, badging, horn, door handles, door locks, trunk locks, front lights and rear lights. Also, how much money could you have made from re-selling these parts, plus the parts you mentioned, back in 1993? TY

[@PaulDaFox]

Morning MegaMacnut, you have 2 great questions! And to answer the first one, that's a tough one as I haven't weighed or permanently removed some of the items that you've listed. My best guess would be approximately 28-35lbs all together. As far as what the parts would have been worth in 1993 is another tough question as these foxes were still relatively new at that time so the need for these parts were not in strong demand as they are today. Thank you for the questions, hopefully I helped a little bit and I appreciate you watching. Have a great day!! 🦾🏁

Now I'm curious what dont u like about a/c ? I'm from texas and ac in summer is definitely a requirement

[@PaulDaFox]

Morning, I've had Bells Palsy (facial paralysis) in the past so I personally don't like the A/C blowing on my face and I don't use it on any of my daily drivers. I also live near Toronto, Canada where the climate is much different than Texas, but I totally get why its a requirement where you live with the scorching heat. That said, the Reef Coupe in the thumbnail of this video was coincidentally from Texas and it of course had A/C. Thanks for watching, much appreciated! Have a great day!!

@@PaulDaFox I live in CA. I only see fiberglass doors for drag cars only. I already bought a pair of manual doors with manual lock & window but they still heavy. I'm thinking dropping 60-70 lb alone on both doors. Maybe I can use my old doors & make a fiberglass mold or mod a fiberglass drag door.

Crash bars?

[@PaulDaFox]

💯 forgot about those, but certainly taking the front and rear off will cut some more weight. I’ve been think of doing a Part 2 to this video to add a few of these that I missed. I appreciate your comment and time for watching, have a great weekend🙌🏼🏁

Real easy way is to stop riding with friends.

[@PaulDaFox]

💯agree…these weight reductions were geared more towards the drag strip where your riding alone already. Thanks for the comment, appreciate you watching, have a great Sunday! 🏁

Removing the engine n trans will save a huge amount of weight too, you forgot to mention that..lol JK!! Lighter windows, that's also an option if you're gonna do all that..

[@PaulDaFox]

Lol🤣 this list was created for just the free stuff that we could remove. I will be doing another video on reducing weight with the best replacement parts such as you mentioned the lighter windows, hood, converting from power windows to manual etc. That said, I appreciate your comment👍🏼 thanks for watching🏁

@@PaulDaFox You're right, I forgot about that part.. head n tail lights removal helps too, tape could cover the holes.. 🕳

[@PaulDaFox]

@@P71ScrewHead 💯 I have a few videos lined up ti cover all these areas such as Budget Drag Racing mods etc. Thanks for your input and ideas; it’s much appreciated🙏🏼🏁

@@PaulDaFox I appreciate your quick replies.. I like the Fox body but I'd like to build a RWD Nissan b13, full weight is just 2,200lbs.. ;)

@@P71ScrewHead Thanks, I prefer replying right away (if I can) versus having comments build up. A rwd Nissan b13 would be kool and of course super light🦾
