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?

Hey stylEmon. I ran all kinds of rotary's back in the day. I ran one turbo'ed 2nd gen for a while, 1 PP port, 2 street ports but got tired of the lack of tourque that the rotary failed to produce. What do you plan on doing with your car?
