my **** is slow as **** right now and ur CX is lighter so you would win. but anyways i want to know if is smart to remove all the rear plastics including the seat. my purpose is to lighten it up a small bit and to clean it up. the back seat and plastics are sorta beat. a lil advice from the pros please...

Nah bud, ur good, just start tearing **** off.. its really simple, just don't force anything off, you should try to keep all ur pieces intact just incase you reconsider.

All u need is a phillips head and a good rachet set.. its mostly 10mms but you'll need something bigger for the seat belt bolts and the hydrolic things that hold up the glass hatch (what are these called again? too many )

Nice. Are you driving it daily. Completely stripped cars aren't for pussies. If you want to be lighter just tear it our, if you have to think about it that much just leave it alone till you have some power to make that wieght reduction worth it.

Stock stripped dx = still slow... and cold in the winter.

Is Marinwood by Northgate? Anyways, good luck.
