But anyway, I heard someone was able to equal the mt times at an autocross track with an at car and equal the 0-60 times, by pulling out the spare tire and tool kit. Brakes with stainless steel line, wheels and tires would be another good way to lose the weight. FT86 speedfactory makes a very nice lightweight braille battery, but its not the best idea if you live in cold climates or use the car as a Daily driver in those cold climates. A full exhaust with headers if you can emissions allowing. PST makes a nice carbon fiber driveshaft or an aluminum one from another source can be close to the same weight as the carbon fiber one. A full pulley kit from say Go fast bits will take some rotational mass off the front end. If you're willing to go really hardcore you can pull the rear seats and put in a lightweight fly wheel in because apparently a heavy percentage of weight is in that flywheel and it would really help make this engine even more rev happy. Others here can elaborate other techniques, but by doing all that you could easily take 100+ lbs of the car, and even better gas mileage and what not is gained along with handling.
