Taking out the seats and getting carbon fiber doors should help a lot.

Sell the SC, buy an 86 Corolla, or a 93 EG Civic hatch if you want a light car...only decent compromise is to make more power to compensate.

pretty self explanatory but its that black tar, lol, black rubber stuff under all your interior stuff... now that i look at it its pretty hard to explain. remove a panel and it probably has some black glue like substance under it so u dont hear the road, engine, stuff like that

lmao...really damn no wonder... i have never taken apart the interior in one of these cars but that explains everything. now im gunna rip apart my interior and add that shiznit. imma start a thread and call it "WEIGHT INDUCTION". wait a second is induction the opposite of reduction

def.General use
Induction (birth), induction of childbirth
Rite of passage

Wow a lot of people seem to think there is tar on the floor of the SC. Pull back your carpet people.
