or just run a full tank of gas = +15 gallons...
but it still wont make it 50/50...
dry carbon panels r hell expensive...
regular 'c/f' are just as heavy if not more than stock aluminium parts...
maybe removal of a/c, stereo, etc etc?

you need to evenly shave weight off of the Z due to its design characteristics of being not quite 50/50. Being 50/50 is actually detrimental to track racing. The Z was designed to balance weight during acceleration/deceleration and turn-in, thus equating to a more balanced ride.

Yeah, maybe you should leave in the spare because you took so much off the rear already. Kei office used a usdm rear bumper (heavier) on their trueno because he wanted more oversteer. Most people get jdm bumpers and never go back, where as Kei actually goes back and forth depending on setup preference.

Thats a pretty good weight savings, I have a base(3188lbs factory claim), now I did remove all the tools and spare from the back, but added some big wide rims/tires to the rear so I probably broke even there, or shaved a lb or two, but realistically if I was to do all his mods I could be under 3000lbs? drilling holes and removing plastic up front could shave how much weight off? I couldnt imagine more then 10lbs...am i wrong?
Also, is the battery causing the 30 lb difference from left to right?

my rear camber was horribly off so once i get some rear adjustable camber arms and a lighter battery, i'll be doing a more thorough corner balance. This was just to see where things stand, a base to start with if you will.
Definately more to come in the future...
