I show you how much the seats weigh, how much the stuff in the trunk weighs, how much the carpets and sound deadening weigh, how much the plastic interior pieces weigh, how much the sunroof weighs, and finally how much the dash weighs.

I understand that your Chris Fix, but I am very disappointed that as a car enthusiast you used the grammatically correct name for an “oh shit†handle 😆😂🤣
Can you remove the windows entirely
you look like a freak with helmet on, i mean you do your groceries, have your car washed, you go to a drive tru driving a car and you wear a helmet running at 5 miles per hour, what are you? one of the Delightful Children?
whens the next driftstang video coming? and what about your turbo del soul
I wonder if you removed exhauat whar results would you get
My grandfather and dad. Do upholstery and seats are heavy i always need help getting the back seats out
You said here we are at the track
And I thought this was an "at the track" situation then I saw the cans 😂
The Ultimate weight reduction: a fucking bike. Literally an engine, tires, and the seat.
Pull the covers in the engine bay and sell them. Little weight savings and more money
This is good be epic. Quite the transformation. I can't wait for this event!
Sound deadening! Sound deadening! Sound deadening
you can get plastic door cards that are just covers so you can replace the stock door cards. Also a lightweight pulley kit will save some weight, make the car rev faster, and the install would make a cool video 😉
Side note: If you can sell the interior parts to make back money and get yourself under budget, then you should be able to count the monetization money from the videos about the e46 lol
Removing that glued sound deadening from the chassis is one of the toughest thing I've ever done on my e46
Will you be keeping the car after the race ends?
Unbelievable how much of the ground that crap covers next to the car .
Fix the driveway.
Ahem…. Did we all just see half of Chris’ face…… whaaaaat haha
17:10 ASMR
I dont see the hood being removed, gotta maximize that weight reduction haha
Use a lithium battery….
i kicked my ex boyfriend out and my gas mileage has NEVER been better. saving money on air fresheners too…
Chris, the silver computer piece you took out of the trunk isn’t the HK amp, that’s actually the in-car telephone/telematics control unit (aka TCU)
Where the turbo tutorial at maaaan.
Hummer brakes better.🤣
The best smell in the world. Makes my car unique. I love it.
Note: just ripping out your interior will make your car skittish and handle like trash. Proper suspension tuning is required when putting your car on a diet.
I couldn't imagine @ChrisFix being even more stoked than he normally is. His stoke really is next level!
Depending on the budget, time, and legality, you could take off each body panel, use a mold release wax and make a fiberglass or carbon fiber part off of it as a mold, and then sell the metal body panels to recoup the costs. Should save another few hundred pounds and you could make a couple extra panels if they get damaged and modify the aero if needed.
Hey Chris, thanks for adding the kg into the video! Very helpful for non Americans like me
Isn’t it going to be 200lbs since you’re going to add a cage? I don’t know if it’s worth removing all that stuff just for a split second difference.
The weight is like carrying around an entire extra family – 2 adults and a child.
11:24 is chrisfix in creative mode to fly over those parts?
I love it when I see a new ChrisFix video. 🙂
weld some pipes for a muffler delete
Can you do E-car conversion?
Have you considered an AC delete?
That crayon smell is so potent too 😂 especially in Ford fusions
Take 2 minutes and a plunger and pull that dent out of the drivers front quarter please
Sorry to get into politics but joe Biden wants to ban “assault weapons†like in his words “ar 14â€ÂÂ
Talk about that car stripping vid again
How much dry ice do i need for a mid sized sedan?
