so you remove all of this weight... and then add a cage..how much does the cage weigh......i dunno but i just saved a grip of money on my car insurance through geico.

ps i dont have carpet or a back seat in my s14..i got tired of the stains on the carpet, and i drive in the drivers seat and dont want 4 people in my car ever....thats too many, 3 is uncomfortable if they are all full size

there is so much more i could spend the money on, starting with brakes and working all the way to a new sr20.
You bring a thread thats over a year old back just so you can explain why you dont want plexi glass?

Have you ever been near plaxi glass or real glass? ones plastic, While some people may not notice its really easy to tell plexiglass isn't glass if you happen to look.

bah, a turbo/supercharger would be less trouble and give you more power than weight rediction.
