Don't stop there:

1) 5 mph bumpers
2) rear wiper
3) You can lose 25+ with a battery
4) cf intake
5) clutch accuator
6) wheels
7) single mass flywheel
8) cf hood
9) spare tire delete
10) rear warts

I'm getting tired.

Darn where to begin.. there's so muc to strip Do a search on the board for "weight saving" and I'm sure you can dig up old posts by Kevin, CJV, myself and a few others on this subject
