Personally, i had to gut the rear half of my car, just so i could fit all my drift tires in em, and i would get rid of abs and sound deadning, because abs is super gay on these cars and without sound deadning this things are so much funner to drive, then if u wanna do more, remove ur hicas if u have it. Everything after that in my opinion including a/c and stereo ruin the ability to drive the car daily. ---

you will cut about 30lbs by removing the power steering. this is with the pump still installed but rigged to run the water pump on a twin cam engine. in my s13 i did not mind not having power steering BUT thats me. its not for everyone, but its not that bad. feels lighter than a go-kart but still pretty heavy. peace ---

also by removing the ac pump and lines alone is like 30-40lbs. to me its was worth it cause i had a track slut in mind. what is your primary goal for the car? does the car have HICAS? peace ---

This. Except that im 99% sure it’s illegal to run a lexan front windshield on a streetcar. And i believe if its a track car the lexan has to be centre braced. look into it. Change your quarter windows and hatch glass tho, no hassles there. ---
