Hey guys,

Coming to the end of another season soon, and I am looking for a winter project to squeeze a bit more performance out of the beast for next year.

Having gotten as much power as I think is possible out of the S54 without going FI or increasing displacement, I think its time for some weight loss.

I got the car corner balanced, it came in at 3160lbs with 3/4 tank (this was prior to aero bits being added)

Anyway, after driving around in by friend's stripped E36 M3, and seeing that thing humble a couple C6 vettes , I am a firm believer in weight reduction.

That being said, I'm also not quite ready to strip the car bare. I was thinking something more along the lines of the Porsche Spyder or Cayman R type of weight reduction.

So far I was thinking of removing the stereo, airbags in doors and from behind glove box, removing headlight washers and fluid reservoir. Possibly removing thick carpets and using diamond plate instead.

Weight reduction already performed:
lightweight battery
Seats switched to race seats w/ 6pt harness / half-cage.
Wheels are CCW Classic

Any other ideas? / Comments?

Thanks as always!
