carpet, seats, sound deadening, and a bunch of the rubber mat material can prob add up to about 100 lbs. But its my personal opinion that its easier to make 10hp than it is to take 100 lbs off the car. On that note, the things id start with are lightweight wheels and tires, and a driveshaft.But if you dont need the interior, chop the whole thing out. You can even cut the dash up and just keep the gauges and that stuff you need. Is the car going to be driven on the street at all?
