Aren't they the same guy. Didn't Madchef just bust this guy for multiple posting under both aliases in this thread.

It seems as if he would be schizophrenic or something if he's replying to his own threads as someone else...
dood leave it the **** alone, Don't you notice this is a real thread about weight reduction not some stupid circle jerk thread? Nobody cares because were sharing information.

I even quoted my self as wizzathe1337 and said when I STARTED THIS THREAD, its no secret...

Back on subject, I've lost about 25 pounds- I cleaned out the trunk, but I always have a bowling ball 15pounds and baseball bat, a few pounds.. Its not much-- But i love the feel at 1/2 tank or less-- I start to notice improvements... and warm tires

I love G35's and for me it would be hard to fully gut one like I did my Z. However, you can do a few things that will cut down in weight.

-Racing Seats
-Odyssey Battery (Even Lighter than Optima)
-Full Titanium Exhaust
-Headers
-High flow cats or even more weight loss with straight pipes(Just put on a silencer on your exhaust)
-Fully Drain the wiper fluid
-Drill holes in the front bumper reinforcement
-Dry Ice the sound deadener that you deem unnecessary
-Take out spare tire, tools, scissor jack (AAA!)
-Stoptech Aero rotors (lighter than stock)
-Lightweight wheels (will also help with unsprung weight
-OEM style Dry Carbon Hood and have it painted to match stock
-Aftermarket steering wheel to remove air bag weight
-UR racing pullies (Unsprung as well!)
-Aftermarket single din radio
-Lightened flywheel (unsprung as well)


Those are the few that I could think up quickly without really sacrificing the smooth drive of a G Also, don't forget to get the car corner balanced and have the alignment/camber readjusted to make sure your car handles correctly.

That's awesome, but depending on what you are looking for a car on a road course would benefit more from weight reduction than added ponies
