Post exact weights of weight reduction you have done!
Winter 2012 pre-diet stats:
3182 track weight.
That's with me on the scales and includes a 60lb rollbar. So it's close to 3000 dry. Minus me and the rollbar - estimated 2940 lbs.
Now onto the winter 2012 diet. Here's a pic of misc dash parts, a-pillar plastic, etc (not the dash itself) mostly plastic but a few brackets - 12lbs. Note this does not include any screws or bolts! Some of this will go back in:
More gutting in progress. I'm thinking about taking out the window glass while at the track and putting it back in during transport (open trailer). Anyone have a writeup for that, please lemme know!
Stay tuned for updates and more weights...
A list of items specifically removed and NOT going back in. I'll try to get a specific weight on this stuff:

A list of items specifically removed and NOT going back in. I'll try to get a specific weight on this stuff:
- Both tweeters in the a-pillars
- Driver's door speaker (passenger yet to come)
- Passenger side airbag module (airbag had already deployed waaaay back)
- Cutting more sound deadening underneath the dash, next to the firewall/windshield base.

I am gonna remove my front glass aswell. It is part of my winter project too. I will holler once I come up with my idea.
Here's some misc weights:
- 15lbs - Stock plastic dash - Just the plastic; everything removed that I could
- 5lbs - driver's side doorskin; just the plastic 'skin'
- 5lbs - Passenger side airbag module (w/o airbag)
Nathan, it looks like your on your way to race car mode! 
Is this for TTS or ST2? I'm making a move to Milwaukee and will most likely try and run NASA midwest events this year.

I pulled the dash out of the car thinking I might be caging it. But regardless, I want to pull as much weight as I can off the front of the car. Like 63% weight up front...
Did you get a chance to weigh the door speakers yet . I went to pull the tweeters out they didnt weigh anything. So before i take the door skin off I would like to know how much the speakers weigh.

I want to get under 2800 for my car with full int.
its alot compared to a single disc setup i think my exedy tripple was 28lbsif u get the carbon carbon its lighter because the flywheel is drilled out but the comp twins and Qm twins are alot lighter they are pretty harsh to drive and make a ton of noise tho.
If you go to work cutting out the thick sound deadening under and around the dash, you'll find more weight than with the speakers. I doubt you wanna cut/gut the door but that's where most people are finding the door weight savings, including the drilling the welds for the side crash beams.
