Re: lighter car??
http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=34904
You've got a LOT of reading to do.. Something cheap and easy(LESS INVOLVED) I can recomend is a fiberglass hood(should save about 20lbs) and wrx seats! Also, the good thing about the hood is that the SVX is a little front heavy.. Getting a fibergladd hood really helps to balance it out. Oh also something thats "kind of easy" is to swap out the steering wheel for another one(racing) without an air bag. You'll get less safety and I don't recomend it but you could save about 8lbs maybe..

Re: lighter car??
thanks a lot!
it already started to snow in canada ..and i do love drifting  )) i've got my svx this year in spring, so this will be my first winter...and yes as you said the front i feel it really heavy making the car to swing the rear pretty well..i was taken by surprise the first time...hopefully i've tested it on a clear road before fooling around on traffic

Re: lighter car??
A/C components =D (heater also) But I mean who would want to do that. Take off some panels also. But then again who would want to do anything that savage to an SVX.
