For all that time and effort stripping it down and making fibreglass parts and ****, you could go get a McJob and save for a porting.

GET RID OF THE STEREO, and the speakers, etc. You can use a portable walkman. Both bumpers weigh a lot, you can make a lightweight frame to hold the plastic bumper cover.

well the 70 lb box comes out of the car easy, so before i leave for the track i just take it out. i am already drawing up some dash ideas, along with a scooped fiberglass hood. i am taking off the removable top(moonroof) and fiber glassing the hole, i might even cut alot of the roof off and replace with fiber glass, all the back windows will be replaced with 1/4 inch polly "window" just one i am making a single window to replace all 3, if you don't know what i mean, it is like the mazdatrix drag car if you have seen it.

Remove all the wiring you don't need(stuff for emissions). Thats good for a couple of pounds. All of the heat shielding. The cover under the front of the engine. make a single sheet that goes across the bottom of the car to reduce turbulence under the car.
