Take out your seats, center console, every plastic piece of your dash, and basically everything plastic in you car or what ever can be unscrewed/unbolted. Only leave what you need. Carpet is not necessary to take out but it weighs about 10lbs maybe. OH! And the door panels.

Thing is going to sound like riding in a tin can once your done just to warn you. All n all you'll defiantly feel a little difference.

personally i would strip a car unless it was going to be ment for strictly racing/auto cross because its a real embarrassment when you wanna take out a lady or something haha.

Keep a seperate car handy!

there is no real weight difference from a 4 or 2 doors haha so it might not be a pig afterall it just depends on where you get the weight at some say coupes are heavier and the other way around

Take off the passenger doors and put a trash bag where the doors are supposed to be

Kinda like what you do with a broken window just.. The whole door hahaha!

i know i've got mine down to no interior, no heater, ac, ps etc, no evap, coilovers, glass hood, 1 seat, etc and its down to 2202 with me in it. the 15" bfg's put it up to 2210 and the 14" nittos are the 2202. once i pull the glass, all the wiring crap, fuel tank for a cell and all that crap should drop quite a bit more weight out of it.
