Weight loss program started with spare delete

Just installed a GT2 spare tire delete including emergency tire sealant from Gert and lost close to 35 LBS
I believe the rear seats weigh in the 30 something LB area , I removed those as well including all the seat belt latches and rear seat belts themselves so in all that's 60 somewhat pounds right there!

I have my front seats out currently during my roll bar install and was seriously contemplating leaving the passenger seat out but I take my wife alot on our 6Pack meets so I'm sure that wouldn't go over all that well!
Would love to here how other guys have lost weight for some idea's within reason
GT3 seats are not an option for me, I need the recline and I have heated sport seats with yellow painted backs and I like the look (They are extremely heavy though)

I heated my GT3 seats when I had them and you can paint the backs too. You'll save 64 lbs, but more importantly the car will feel more gokartlike and you will receive a lot more communication from the car through the less padded seat bottoms. Not only that, the lateral support on the stock seats suck **** and cause you to use the steering wheel to hold yourself up in higher g corners.

you said you need to be able to recline? could you not buy reclining race seats as in the challenge stradale? you could probably find some that have ample side support and that are able to recline for you?

Yes Cobra Misano's but they are expensive and not as much side support as the GT3 seat

You might be right. I later removed the rear seat belts.
