hey mazspeed. those first gens are damn light huh?!

You're right, It'll probobly be more like 24-2500 lbs. I have done some wieght reduction, but it isn't a huge priority for me. Like you said, the cars are pretty light already.

I've got BBS rims. They are much lighter than stock.
Ditching the spare tire, lightening the suspension a little.
I'll ditch probobly about half the insulation under the rugs. (a friend took out insultaion, carpet, and sound deadening. About 40 lbs total)
Ditched power steering, cruise, removed LOTS under the hood (emmissions, extra BS),
lightened flywheel
relocate battery, better wieght distribution

It doesn't add up to a ton, but I think 2500 would be pretty easy to obtain.

Did yall run turbo set-ups on the FB?
