Evo X MR Track Prep: Weight Loss

Well,

I have decided for a host of reasons to stick with the EvoX MR, so first thing to do is get the weight down. Those of you with Evo X who track them, how much can be taken off, and how much weight did that account for? I am going to consider up to, gutting the trunk, removing all sound deadening, lighter front seats, and removing the back seats ..

Also, I am switching out to coil-overs and moving toward some heavier swaybars along with lighter rims and larger tires. I figure most of this woudl be a wash, but comments are welcome.

Thanks.

STF

Also a titanium exhaust, and a few other things should help out some

I'm going to start with the interior this year yet, and already have the AMS mustasche bar eliminator.

I don't think the rear seats have too much weight.

I also removed all the radio stuffs as well.
