Default Need help to make my prelude light.

I new to this. I was driving a auto matic lexus IS300. and i was racing a civic vtec and everything. i beat him but he kept up, 3 cars behind me. I finally knew that weight is also a big factor in running it. so my 92 prelude needs to be light. SO anyone that wants to help, tell me what i need to do to make my prelude light as hell

Take stuff out and replace parts with lighter parts. It's not that hard, it just usually means sacrificing comfort.

Mine should be under 2200lbs by now...

pretty easy, just buy as much carbon fiber parts as possible.
take out A/C
take out seats(except driver)
take out all interior
get smaller, lighter wheels
loose some weight if your fat
take out engine(if needed)

Light weight flywheel kills two birds with one stone. Up to 12 lbs lighter, and you free up some power

I'm in the middle of a couple weight reduction projects right now, so I'll try to post pics after they are done. I guess the things that weren't in the other pics would be the Civic radiator, JDM front bumper support, D2 aluminum coilovers, CF mirrors, material cut from the doors, the dash will be gutted, Innovative motor mounts (no front mount needed ), and....I think that's about it.
