If you're that serious about weight reduction perhaps you should just invest in a lighter body....?

oh geez...

- Speedglass or FAL or other lexan windows
- scrape undercoating and sound deadening
- lighter rims
- remove power window motor ---> manual
- no A/C, PS, Cruise
- CF seats, remove stock seatbelt reels.
- CF body panels (hood, hatch, bumper, front-end)
- open header or lack of full exhaust
- CF/aluminum dash and door panels or eliminate both

of course lighter engine parts would help.

Do a K-swap (slightly lighter engine with more potential) and go from there.

Ive given it some thought. I think im just going to put everuthing back in and just go with an extremely powerful turbo . Precision sc61 t4 forget weight reduction. Now I have to put my whole Gutted Car back together.
