Weight reductions on '89 Coupe?

I assume you just want to make the best out of what you have with no motor swap, so you want to loose weight. Front seat swaps, rear seat removal, spair tire removal, lighter rims/tires, custom made CF hood or 'glass hood/trunk. possibly a fuel cell conversion? I can't really think anything else, but you'd loose a few hundred.

I personally don't see that as a viable option for me - just all of that alone the cost would be > or = to a ge swap and maybe close to 1/2 what a gte swap would cost so it would be a waste of $ for little gain. Mafix has done all of this, he'll probably chime in with his personal experience with the fe platform.

EDit: hahaha, lonewolf beat me to most of it ^

 

^ good points, thanks!

I swear I read somewhere a ge in itself was lighter than the fe by a couple hundred, is that true?

ok sorry guys, I think I know where I was lead astray. I was looking at weights on a JDM importer site. I assumed the GE was just lighter due to their listings, but I bet there was missing parts where it made the GE seem lighter than the FE.

As for Black Shelf and the weight issue, you have me 1-uped to start, since the coupe is supposidly lighter than 'verts and hatchbacks so I'd assume weight reduction would be more effective/noticeable for you as opposed others that have a different model.
