Yeh, It kinda looks like yours from the front seats back. Lost the rear seats, thier seat belts, the spare tire cover/mat, and some other odds and ends. I was hoping to shed about twice that. The rear seats weren't quite as heavy as I thought. They have a sheet metal frame rather than tube steel like the fronts. There's still more weight that can lost and still stay within the rules. But, I believe I'll about 50 lbs. above minimum.

LOL. Reminds me of a Sport Compact Car article from years ago when they turned a B15 Sentra into a really quick 1/4 mile car without adding power. They just kept taking stuff away. By the end, it was basically a bare frame with suspension and a driver's seat attached!

That Sentra article was great. I believe they took a Saws-All to the poor thing, removing the roof and the trunk. That magazine will be missed.

Have you looked for removable steel pieces from underneath the car? I know on an early Miata the tow-hooks were a common delete. Any kind of skid plate could come off too, unless you encounter a lot of gravel at speed.

Is there an SCCA class you're shooting for?

Yeh, don't think I'll be going that far. I'll be lucky if I stand to drive it prepped for SM. I may have to hire a valet to and from events.:tongue:
