Weight Reduction
 
I was wondering if anyone has gutted their car's here yet? How much weight can you knock out from taking stuff out not just replacing parts...anyone have any idea?

The rear area is about 40lbs I believe.

No pictures anymore, but this is from M.Bonnai tearing out the rear hatch for a track day and what he did.

Passanger seat you just need to be careful of the airbag light or something, a few guys took the seat out and could not get the light to go away after the seat is put back in.
