@@chrisreynolds2410 Not sure if I understand what your asking exactly, but the quad shocks were left out by mistake when I was editing the video. Thanks
Excellent video Paul...really good information coming from the G.U.R.U...You never let us down on sharing your knowledge with us...Say hi to Sally for us... 👊🏾👊🏾
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. 👍
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 🦾🏁
Great video Paul! I was already going to lose the spare, jack and dog-bone on the differential. Going to keep my creature comforts! But 💯 Street! 😀 Heavy vert life!
90LX, weighed in 3,0XX with driver. Holly Systemax kit, Z303, 4.10s. Ran 12.2s at 110. Would 1.6 60ft in the dirt. *Drag struts and ET streets are the most fun per dollar mod, by far.
New Subscriber here! Thanks for the Awesome vids! I just got a 87 coupe, it has explorer intake, b cam, 5 lug swap, 5 speed transmission, 07 GT seats, sve radiator w/ electric fans all for 5k! What a steal in 2022! All on my channel!
Thank you for the support, I really appreciate that 🙏🏼 And you definately got an amazing deal on your coupe with some nice goodies already. Would love to see it! That said, have a great long weekend 🙌🏼🏁
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
Morning Patrick, you have some great additions to the list there - thank you! That said, I actually have a video coming out tomorrow about the best replacement parts for weight reduction which covers some of the mods you listed as well. Hopefully you’ll catch that one tomorrow evening. Really appreciate your comment and time for watching. Have a great weekend!! 🦾🏁
Good video. I got my fox down to 2643lbs , but removed a lot more. Took everything out behind the dash, removed the sound deadening material from floor boards. Kirky seat, and aluminum engine block.
Wow that’s awesome 2643 🙌🏼 These weight cuts were more of the starter kit lets say. I plan on doing another related video in regards to the best replacement parts to cut weight. Looking forward to weighing my fox to see where I’m at. Thanks again brother🦾🏁
Really like the last tip. There's a dual performance bonus there...lose weight from the car + drop some weight from your own frame = win/win. Being a high performance/healthy person definitely has its benefits.
@@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.
Great video.. Those saleen wheels looks so clean on your cobra. I believe the stock seats on the termi are heavy too i been thinking of swapping them out.
Awesome video brother. Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Keep the incredible content coming. Hope you all have an amazing night. Love you all. Much RESPECT
Boy oh boy that's alot of stuff ,I'm taking out alot of the factory insulation and putting extremely light sticky back foam to the backside of the panels ,if that doesn't work I can do more but should do two things at once if all goes well, keeps mice out too I hope ,you can't imagine where I found that original insulation
Hey Paul! Great video. I have the best method of weight reduction of a quick 200 lbs. on my 67 Mustang! I just don't take her with me. doooooooooooooooh
Hey Chris, I can see how the A/C would be a hot item in Texas. Most off the quad shocks I remove are seized stock ones but I’ll certainly keep you in mind for any A/c or sway bars. Hope all is good with you and the family, have a great day! 🦾🏁
Morning Tony, 100% those bumpers are heavy! I was going to add them to the list but I thought I would include them in an upcoming video for best replacement parts for weight cut as most of the guys swap the bumpers for the tubular supports. Although some don't do it, the last time I ran no front tubular support my front nose pushed in 🤦♂️ Thanks for watching, much appreciated!! 🏁
Those would be some great weight cuts for track only as you mentioned as every little pound adds up! Appreciate you watching and your input, have a great day brother? 👊🏼🦊🏁

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
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!! 🦾🏁
Hey Paul, what about the Side rubber mouldings fenders, doors and rear 1/4? They must weigh some 10-15lbs together . I chucked mine the day I got mine lol
Morning BrazenMight, thank you for adding to the list - those are great weight saving that you’ve listed as well especially the side door mouldings. Appreciate the comment and for you watching: have a great week🦾🏁
I hear ya! I like my power windows and locks aswell👍🏼 I haven’t looked into fiber glass doors in a long time, but I recall Summit Racing use to sell them. Do you live in Canada or the States?
@@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. I think that's the most heaviest item on most all American muscle cars.

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.

Hey brother, I didn’t forget about those as this list was geared towards weight cut stuff we could remove without any replacement parts.

That said, really appreciate your comment, thanks for watching and have a great day!! 🏁
@@rudde67ssm62 💯I agree with you…I’ve ran without the front tubular support as well and it end pushing my bumper cover in, but no issue with nothing in the back so you make a valid point - personal preference! 👊🏼🏁

💯 I hear ya brother and super happy that your fox keeps going for you🙌🏼 As mentioned in the video, the list was created for the track guys looking to squeeze every tenth possible. I appreciate your comment, have a great day! 👊🏼🏁

Love it🙌🏼 And I totally forgot about that one; racing with 1/4 tank or less! Thanks for adding to the list, appreciate your comment, thanks for watching, have a great weekend!!🏁
💯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! 🏁

That's my plan, anyway. ;-)
Yesser, that’s the general consensus to a certain power level. Don’t worry I’ll be joining you eating the salads for my personal weight cut 🤣🦾🏁
Forgot front and rear bumper supports. Thats like 22lbs for the front and like 48-52lbs for rear.
Hey brother, I didn’t forget about those as this list was geared towards weight cut stuff we could remove without any replacement parts. I guess technically we could remove the bumpers and not put the tubular supports in, so I was going to include these for an upcoming video for Best Replacement Parts weight reduction. That said, really appreciate your comment, thanks for watching and have a great day!! 🏁
@@PaulDaFox Yea i understand that but the tubular replacements arent mandatory and i do not run them. /shrug Its preference really.
@@rudde67ssm62 💯I agree with you…I’ve ran without the front tubular support as well and it end pushing my bumper cover in, but no issue with nothing in the back so you make a valid point - personal preference! 👊🏼🏁
Front bumper support can go as well I think it’s about 30 pounds
And rear bumper is probably 35ish
Hey Josh, I have a video coming out tomorrow with the best replacement parts for cutting weight and that one is on the list. Thanks for watching, have a great night👍🏼🏁
Yesser, the rear bumper is a good weight cut as well but I was ran the tubular support in place. I tried without a tubular support in the front and my bumper cover pushed in Lol🤣🏁 Thanks again for the comments; much appreciated 👊🏼
but slow is fast how many foxbodies ive seen parked at the house or on side of road..while my stock mustang keeps goin by~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
💯 I hear ya brother and super happy that your fox keeps going for you🙌🏼 As mentioned in the video, the list was created for the track guys looking to squeeze every tenth possible. I appreciate your comment, have a great day! 👊🏼🏁
Wow! For me to be 205 lbs I have shave off at least 100 lbs! LOL 😂 👍🇨🇦
You can do it brother if you really want to!
🦾🦾
Selling the cats will literall pay for the off rd h or x pioe and part of headers so ..do it
100% the value of those precious metals within the cats have gone through the roof; hence were seeing all the cat thefts from trucks etc. Thanks for watching, have a great Sunday! 🦊🏁
I'm gonna drop 40lbs out of mine by eating more salads...
That’s the last weight cut mod on the list! And that’s awesome if your doing 40lbs🙌🏼 I’m targeting about 25lbs myself. Thanks for your comment, have a great day!! 🏁
What about the bumpers?
Morning JAI, I was going to include the bumper supports but have reserved those for another video where they get replaced with the tubular support. That said, I know a lot of guys run without the tubular support. Either way, thanks for the comment and for watching. Have a great day!👊🏼🏁
I gotta have that ac tho
I hear ya brother…I’ve never used A/C in my life in any of my vehicles so it’s definately one of the first items to go in my foxes. Thanks for the comment and for watching, have a great Sunday!! 🙏🏼
yeah but 350 pounds only gives you 18 hp thats not a big enough gain for me
Morning Jeremy, I hear ya but for the drag race enthusiast it all adds up at the end of the day. Thanks for watching, have a great day!! 👊🏁
#alwaysracewiththegaslighton
Love it🙌🏼 And I totally forgot about that one; racing with 1/4 tank or less! Thanks for adding to the list, appreciate your comment, thanks for watching, have a great weekend!!🏁
Put down the donuts
Yesser, that is the last weight cut item! Thanks for watching 🦾🏁
@@PaulDaFox Welcome Paul!
@@Lethal_Venom 👊🏼🏁
This is really just a how to make a race car.
Yessir, basically to make your fox into a drag fox. Thanks
Real easy way is to stop riding with friends.
💯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! 🏁
Crash bars?
💯 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🙌🏼🏁
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..
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.. 🕳
@@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🦾
