Yes, evo x hood will fit
a/c delete, rear seat, spare tire, dash, door panels, sub, etc etc

run, drink lots of water, eat healthy.... you know where I'm going with this..

There is no point. If you want a track worhty car, look elsewhere. If you want to have a fun sporty car make some goals and go for them. Not to be a *** but this is a pointless question.

Look at your user name and look at my signature and my avatar, God.

****ing Vincent/Satan, . Anyways, the Evo doesn't have a pyrex windshield, at least not that I'm aware of. I've heard that Lexan windows are actually illegal although I'm not completely sure why (I assume it's a safety thing). Weight cutting mods are for race cars, not street cars. There are lots of things you can do but I doubt you'll like them. Obvious one, get rid of the sound system, all of it. Take out the speakers, the deck and all the wiring. Next up, get rid of the back seat, brackets, seat belts, etc. Next up, run less 1/2 a tank of gas at all times. You can replace the wheels with lightweight forged Volks or Gram Lights (which will cost 2000$+). The air conditioning should obviously go as well.
