Need help improving et

I need help improving my track times. Might sound easy, but my car is still under warranty. Any ideas on what would help?

Weight off the front end is always good or anywhere for that matter. Some LCAs , relocation brackets , sub frame connectors , torque arm etc... are pretty easy and you can take them off if you need to go into service or repair as long as they are not the weld in type .
BTW I have seen someone race driving on a milk crate . (It was a Honda at a street race )

Why are you selling it? Give up on the stock internal record?

There are so many ways to cut weight without getting crazy. Light k-member, wheels, and remove spare is a great start. Remove insulation from carpet and the list goes on and on of what you can't see if you take it to the dealer.

I will post more pics tonight with the aluminum front-end back on it. I have 3 days to get my wiring done. I will get a quick pic of that as well.
