After my F20B rebuild is done I need to drop as much weight as I can without gutting my car completely...

Sure it's possible. I dropped my 5th gen base from stock (around 3000... i forget off hand the exact figure lol) down to 2860 just by removing stuff people tend to believe won't make a difference.. and after I took out my paintball equip I had in there and my tools, it dropped it to around 2838. BTW>> any of you in central PA who wants to weigh their car, just let me know and I can tell you where a *HUGE* scale is you can go weigh on for free.

Re: if it possible for a 93vteclude to come down to 2500 lbs (BB1)
NO clue man, every car is different, I think mine is quite light from the factory, stock it weighed 2720 with eveything in it.. Besically, by stripping everything, I got 300lbs out of the car, then put a 100lbs back in for the rollcage...
2720 Stock
- 300 of ****
+ 100 rollcage
= 2520 as it sits

I think most will be around 2800lbs.. I forgot, the car wasn't stock, it had a AEM CAI/DC header/testpipe/Greddy SP, that all adds to about 30lbs of weight saving..
