Message	Racing Seats @ 15 pounds each vs a ~combined 100#'s for stock leather seats: 70 pounds saved! Flywheel- 10 pounds vs ~22? :12 pounds saved! :) Driveshaft -Aluminum vs stock two piece (anyone know the weights? I heard something like a 30 pound difference!) Underdrive pulley (gasp!) - like a 10 pound reduction Ditch the spare, and tools -25 pounds? Stupid lead weight in hatch...ditch it! -5 pounds Dump both sets of cats, replace with (lighter?) pipes. -5 pounds? Light rims, and Slicks Other than the slicks the car is still very driveable, notice i'm not telling people to dump the aircon or anything... All that is more than 100 pounds, and it's very doable...it's a start at least.
