There is a stickey in the drag racing tech fourm about weight reduction.
But as for me, I've only taken out the spare tire & jack. Took out the rear seats & passenger seat once @ the track, but put them back in when I was done.

i actually just did all that today...
tore about the front end to remove just about all the plastics and liners except the front air dam. removed all the smog/egr pump crap. removed the window washer reservoir. removed the metal bumper support and the foam insert. removed the rear seats (left the seat belts for now). removed a few of the rear plastics and carpet, as well as the spare tire and jack assembly.

Question, does all that really make a reasonable difference. I mean if you daily drive your car what diff. does 200lbs actually make.
and if its a "race car" take the ac and radio out.
Just my $.02
