  • Lightweight (fixed?) front seat(s)

You could really get some decent savings out of these pieces I'd think. Not sure how much difference it would make in acceleration, but would be interesting to compare.
There are a lot of build threads dedicated to adding lightness. Some people have removed hundreds of pounds
