If you haven't done it already, and are looking for weight savings, get wheels and tires. The stock FRS wheel is 20.7 lbs, which is heavy for a 17x7. The cliche RPF1s in 17x7.5 are 15.1 lbs, and can accommodate a 225 width tire. That's about a 18 - 20 lbs savings in unsprung weight, with more tire (estimated because I have no idea how much weight the wider tire will add). In contrast, a carbon driveshaft seems to save about 10 lbs. If you wait until your tires need replaced anyway, the wheels will likely be less expensive as well.

86 is not a race car. It is a fun car that can be raced.

Or this. If I could lay off the junk food all over the place at work, and go hiking more, I could probably drop 30 or so pounds of driver myself. If it mattered.
Also tempted to make that last part a sig.
