weight reduction (Tire & Jack question)

[3.2 TL]

I'm just wondering if anyone of you takes out their spare tire and jack for daily driving?

[snake gts]

not for daily driving.at least not me.
only when i am going to the track!!
or to race someone........

[NoCones]

for daily driving? no way...I prefer to have some recourse if I get a flat.

for autox, I always take the tire out...occassionally the jack too.

[CelicaNamja79]

i got my spare out all the time...unless i go on a long trip to L.A. or San Fran.....

[GTpiMp]

mines out too .... except when im hittin a road trip

[3.2 TL]

i take them out cuz i drive local anyways......
i drive in the city alot...
but if i go on a road trip then of course i have to put them back in

[autxr]

I've never gotten a flat while on a road trip. Only in te city. Believe me, in Detroit, there are places you DO NOT want to be walking. Change that tire as quick as you can.

If you have bling bling, then you better not leave the car, it won't be there wen you get back (or the wheels and stereo won't).

My car is mostly stock, so I just leave it in, once I get some perf. mods, I'm taking both out. If I get a flat, I'll just use the cell phone.

I hope it`s a light weight cell phone!

seriously whats the big deal with keeping it in while you're driving.... if you get a flat its gonna cause something like 100 times the headaches and for what? the equiv. of .2 hp

DAMN THATS SMART

[CarpeNoxRacing]

:stupid: 2-3 HP Isnt Worth 2-3 Hours Of Waiting To Fix It IMO. Now If Your Going To A Race By All Means Ditch It But For Everyday Driving Ill Keep Myne In.

and i guess it also saves abit of gas....
like alittle wee bit ....
i guess u can save on the long run....
but its safer to have them in.......

[Rog315]

i'm a dumba$$ and didn't read the full question...for track i say yes and for daily driving i say no

[3.2 TL]

i think i remember some guy stripping out his whole celica......
he even took out light bulbs from the interior......
thats too extreme for me

[GTSmOnKeY15]

If your fat, take it off your spare tire and jack, hahahaha

[3.2 TL]

hahah good one......

Hmmmmmmm...
that makes me think........
if a person weighs like 250lbs......
won't they need stiffer springs on the driver side?
the car would be noticeably slanted rite?
and performance wise..... the car will corner better if they make a left turn ....
hmmm.......
just wondering and curious
