I was just reading the "new to modding cars" thread in this section (bored at work) and I'm up to weight reduction, power to weight ratio.
How many humans here actually take out their spare tyre to reduce weight? I've always thought about doing it...
It doesn't matter what the rest of us do, you need to ask yourself: is it worth it waiting for a tow truck/friend aid because you don't have a spare?
^already asked myself that sir. forgive me for asking what the rest of you do just wondering.
I removed my bonnet and replaced with security fly-wire for better cooling and huge weight reducation
ditch spare tire
use run-flat tires

come to think of it, t he toyota 86 doesn't have a spare tyre, only a puncture repair kit

When tracking then obviously take the spare out when you arrive ;)
I took my spare out, mainly so I could fit things in the spare wheel hole. Will get a space saver wheel, get a bag for it and put it behind the passenger side seat though.
I've buggered a tyre running on it flat cause of that sole reason (Well, I also completely forgot it was flat and drove on it >.>)
either go all out (like race car) or dont bother at all. IT wont make a difference to performance and is needed for those rare occasions of a flat tyre.
