I've gone a pretty unconventional route to reduce weight. While I've never taken the trouble to actually weigh in after replacing almost every panel with carbon fiber I can confidentially say the car feels much lighter. The Nissan tech in Smithtown said you can feel it once you let off the clutch. I'm shooting for a set of race sets in 2011 and a seibon hatch (last missing panel) on which I'll put a Kognition wing. Down the line I'm shooting for some ultra light wheels.
