S2000 weight reduction

Yeah, I'd like to know how you got that light as well. I don't even have a full cage or any AC/Heat stuff and my car is just over 2600... How much sheet metal did you cut out of that thing? I can't imagine it being possible to take another 100 + lbs out. The only things I could take off are the bumper bars, after that I would have to start cutting (more than I already have)

Your car is probably 70# more just because of turbo, Plus your wheel/tire package is probably another 20#, active rear aero another 5# or so, adds up.
I don't think rob has cut any metal, yet.

I have a mild steel steel half cage (and I'm using the heaver DOM because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get the car under 2400lbs Oh well)
Anyways, nothing is cut yet. It's just fully stripped. Pretty much anything and everything I could remove, both inside and outside I took off and was pretty diligent about choosing light weight parts. As is, the car has full glass, AC / heat, and other minor accessories still like the air pump. Once I cage the car for W2W, I plan on cutting it up and getting rid of every thing!
