True. Most 240 guys, especially S14 guys love the lines on hte SC. Because really, a SC looks just like a Giant S14, very similar style and body line.

If you really want to lose weight, go back to the 240sx

I don't think our cars are meant to be light.

de-tar really loses 50lbs?

+1.Ive always removed weight off my cars and still kept them comfortable and stock looking.I think its retarded to put power seats in car unless you magically change height or weight if your the only driver.

240SXs are lighter but they also dont have 250 stock H.P., the seats are next to nothing.

detar can lose up to 50 pounds. It varies from manufacturer though. It's usually all over the trunk and the floors and the sides..
