Thought this might help someone:
okok...
I may not be exactly correct, but it is roughly around 175.
read and learn...
I decided i don't want anything on or in my car that is not needed to maintain good working condition. Some are a bit obviuos, but others may not have been thought of. BTW, most of these things you can do right before you leave for the track(not very time consuming).

*Of course the rear seats were the first to go.
*The spare, jack, and other tools in trunk are gone.
*The passenger seat is gone most of the time(until i take someone somewhere), but i don't drive much(I live on campus).
*The seat belts and all parts associated with them were about 12lbs(back seat and passenger).
*The stock 6 by 8's?- whatever they are; those had to go.
*The small muffler that comes after the cat was removed(hence the name cat-back), plus a lighter weight muffler and piping. I don't know what to expect from that, but i'm guessing around 20 to 25lbs considering my stock muffler alone is 15lbs heavier than the aftermarket one.
*The wiper fluid and the bottles were removed(front and back), at least 25lbs. They were very easily removed.
*The fact that at no time does my car have more than 1/8 tank of gas in it(once again, i don't drive much, and when i do, it's to race or go to mcdonalds). This may seem a bit childish, but if i were to go weigh my car at any given time, I'm sure i'd be under 2,700lbs.
*haha- I only weigh in at 145Lbs LOL...
BTW, EVERYTHING i've taken off has been kept.
This is what i've done so far. This weekend I'm gonna open up the doors to see what i can find.
Hope this inspires!

i can check off every one of them, except for the pass seat and seatbelts ;-)

i dunno what front end u got, but i removed a bunch of crap that hooked the front bumper to other parts in the front end of the car...kinda like the scoop that shoots air to the radiator, by there...

also, u forgot the c/f hood meng!!

well, the cf hood wasn't bought by me...i got hookd up w/the cf hood and a blitz kit for less than ummmmm i'll say 800 so noone gets jealous... i got all of it plus miscellaneous crap for a cuple hundo less...

it weighs prolly like 10-15 lbs.. its pretty shitty quality, but looks hella pimp from 5 feet away...


umm, as soon as i get rid of sum of the shit i bought, i will have been paid to have the cf hood on my car...

hope that answers your ?s

SpoolingTurbo, if ur talking to me,
I have a 96 gs.

you can get a titanium exhuast system if you got the money. Haha don't think they make it for the eclipse though. Heard you lift the whole thing with one hand or something.

Get lexan windows

fiberglass body panels

Lightweight wheels ie volks, FD3S wheels

haha take the hatch off and make a truck rear end

Get carbonfiber racing seats

Take off 5MPH bumper

Take out AC

Take off a wing if you got one

yeah I know it costs a lot but that's the price you have to pay for weight reduction!

I will eventually o every one of those things. I mean it!!! but for now, she's a daily driver. I'm doin all i can to lighten the load(so to say).

Thanx so much for the list of other weight reductions. I think you one of the only people that I've gotten a serious answer from.
