1. replace seats with race?
2. lighter wheels
3. replace what panels?
4. smaller battery?

drive with less fuel in the tank, take out the passenger seat, remove spare/tools, get rid of the heavy cats and stock exhaust.

It all really depends on how far you want to go with this. If its a pure track car, then you could tear the entire thing apart if you really wanted to shed some pounds.

Heater core, A/c, and all the lines, and the big metal speaker box that is covered in plastic behind the seats.
You all know what I am talkin about!

Used Advanced search field.

Searched term "lighten" (could also use "weight" or "reduction")

Narrowed to Autocross/Road section.
