![Question](https://www.civicforums.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi, I was wondering if anyone here knew any shops in California who deal with race prepping and fabrication. Mainly looking into building a track car and taking out anything in order to have a lightweight vehicle, mainly gutting the interior. I haven't decided on what car but I'm looking for a reputable shop that does this type of work. TIA.

you'll need to buy a race battery, C/F hood, Light weight rims, racing seat.
Remove everything in trunk
Then strip ALL plastic panels/speakers/stereo out.
Remove all glass and replace with lexan
take all your carpet/door panels out
remove your entire dash, replace with a simple little gauge cluster.
All that should be good for a few hundred pounds and about .5 seconds off your 1/4!!
