traction bar, wheels, gutted interior, race bucket, no exhaust, sound deadening.
You wont have anything in the car. Everything that is there will be to only make the car function. No accessories whatsoever.

The balance shafts only weigh about 8lbs, so there's little to gain from removing them other than 5hp and slightly quicker revs. The manual tensioner comes off an H23 and will hold up over time better than the auto tensioner on the H22. All of this can be found by SEARCHING
