Threw my pig on the scales last night...The below weight was with a half tank of gas, spare tire, jack, set of heavy jumper cables & some other random junk in the trunk, (4) floor mats, etc. Drop the fuel down to a 1/4 tank & take the other stuff out I would be around 3k even.

Haha just trying to motivate you . It wasn't intentional lol

As far as what is done or that has been taken out is basically everything on the first page.

Egr/evap
All sound deadening and padding
Carpet, seats, trunk all out
Misc brackets behind dash, in engine compartment, and under car
Cat back is removed
A/c removed but still have heat
Both crash beams
Mini radiator
Rear wing
Wipers front and rear
And that's honestly it for the heavy stuff I'm sure I could have missed a few things

Still have sunroof, stock brakes, stock wheels, all door panels, a,b, and c pillars, and all wiring has been untouched.

This is just for track purposes and when it's in street trim it will have carpet, passenger seat and exhaust back on

How do you like the NRG CF seats? Do they flex much? Comfortable? Are they cheap pieces of ****?

^ You should grab some RPF1's. You'll lose 5lbs per wheel, so 20lbs total, but whats more important, is that its rotational mass.

Those are actually on my list plus all the Buschur lightweight goodies. Still deciding if I want to do the manual brake conversion though as it's still street driven 1-2 times a week.
