strip the entire interior down so theres nothing but the steering colum and a egg crate to sit on get rid of all the windows and every body panel thats bolted down, you should notice a difference then other than that i got nothing
i would suggest:
1) spare tire
2) subs if have it
3) run high octane but minimal gas amount
4) lower tire pressure a little bit
rather than that, just work on your reaction time. That's where you can gan the most. GL man. im waiting till my track reopens down here too. gotta go work on my eighth mile time

Rep Power: 282 You'll get a couple cars from the start if you launch well but as soon as your buddy hits 3rd gear... SEE YOU LATER. That car pulls VERY HARD UP TOP. I know bc I raced my buddy's Spec V but we were both stock. Either way good luck and get some vids for us all to watch.

Rep Power: 257 dude, if its a d17, dont go through the trouble. when i first got mine i ripped out the back seat, everything in the trunk, my wife, passenger seat. it didnt do anything. even in a high hp car youre only going to get about a tenth of a second for every 100 pounds you shed. hard to lose a lot of weight off a street driven car.
