I'm running with my spare tire since I gutted my softtop and replaced it with a hardtop.
Lightweight seat and rollbar with rear interior trim delete (which is allowed for safety items) saves you a decent amount of weight. You could also pick up a mugen-style rep hardtop and delete your softtop - that'll save you quite a bit of weight within legal means. I think a lightweight battery is also a legal option.
Also, if you haven't done it already, you can remove your airpump - more weight savings. AND, since you're in an AP1, I believe the car is lighter than AP2s (both versions 04-05 and 06-09).

I thought stock class was all about bringing your car straight from the dealership with maybe a camber joint, some good tires, brake pads, and brake fluid. Stock class can be a very competitive class. I think it could be more rewarding than Mod class since cars are built to similar spec. 
Interested to see how times will improve in all classes across the board. This year is going to be one craaazy year!

Yea that was me. I filled up about 2/3 gal before leaving the track, but my second o2 failed last week, and the primary o2 threw another cel at the track, so i was running open loop the entire day and had crappy gas mileage. Doug found me after i called alex and donated a gallon to me.

Right now I'm on 225/255, camber joints, hardtop, pads/fluids/lines = 0.125 points (hardtop is the only thing worth points here). No rollbar yet, though I've been contemplating getting one for quite some time now.
