doesnt seem like you where worried about price when doing your other mods, lol

something that wouldn't cost anything would just be removing the back seats, but honestly i cant think of anything off the top of my head that wouldn't cost too much, but it depends on what you mean by "too much"

hahaha well trust me im going to dump cash into it,, but I mean with thos mods what else can I do? the reason I dont want to spend much more at the time is bc I have a upcoming condo in the makes right now..
my plan is to do full bolt ons, tune, meth for next summer, then 35R kit and built engine for the following,,,
but wanted to know if there was anything else I could do to make the evo lighter or maybe something to further my time at the track...
I do know I'll need a new clutch,, exedy twin disk HD is in the future

yeah i would save for a good clutch, but if you want my suggestion for light weight parts that wont brake the bank and are worth the money, i would upgrade the rotors, especially if you are going to track it, you can save a pretty decent amount of weight on rotors, plus it will help your breaking (kind of obvious i know lol) i would go with Girodisc, kind of pricey but you shave like 5bls at-least off each rotor, i know somebody did a write up and they save a ton of weight, plus upgraded brakes are a must for racing

i always preferd slotted / drilled and slotted because, drilled like the ones above ^^^ i have heard and seen crack alot more often than just slotted or drilled and slotted because there are so many holes it compromises strength, but that just what i have been told so. those are also very pricey brakes lol but you get what you pay for
