Making it Lighter

Hey does anybody have any ideas for lighting up the first gen CL. I would like to cut at much weight as possible without making any drastic modifications. Any ideas would be appreaciated.

Oh yeah does anybody know the stock wheel weights I know the 16X5 5 spokes are ENKEI's but I dont know what model

spair tire and front seat if running N2O with out dump pipe. If you have a dump pipe or no N2O take out the rear too. Really only feasable for track application.

get some lighter wheels. take out your seats for the track and your dash and everything else that comes off easily. about a half tank of gas. get some new recaro racing seats. take off your bumpers under the body. lots of stuff you can do.

The stock wheels on the '98 weigh about 21 pounds each. If you replace them with Volks (about 11 lbs ea) you'll notice quite an improvement in accel and decel. That's what I'm looking to do but can't find a decent place to get them w/ tires from. Anyone got input on that?
