-removed ac compressor, condensor, fan and all lines and wiring under engine bay(did i miss anything else that will help save weight)????~42lbs
-removing rear bumper suport and replacing with benen strong bar~35lbs
-remove rear and pass seats when at track~45-50lbs

i heard that the ek's have a rear seat brace in 3 pieces when taken off and it weighs nearly ~20lbs when removed. any idea if the eg or eh's have them?? if we do have them where are they so i can remove it..

also, anyone heard of speed glass? some on e was talking about it earlier. they said it was made of lexan but much cheaper than FAL window kits. does anyone know where to get lexan and cut as well??


i am just looking to save some more weight~like 100lbs more at least.. mst ideas entertained
