weight reduction
Anyone here know of some ways to really shed lbs from the EVO? I'm trying to get my RS under 3000lbs w/full fluids. I've tried looking online for lighter bumper mounts and MR roofs but I'm coming up kinda short. I've already done the BR mini-battery, and I imagine I'll lose some pork when my exhaust is fully done, not to mention lighter wheels. Has anyone found any tricks to really lose 50-100 lbs? Perhaps some before/after weight reduction efforts?

Titanium catback with cat delete and downpipe. Get 15lb wheels saves almost 10 pounds per wheel. Aluminum IC pipes and mini batery will take some weight off. Aluminum radiator. Titanium strut bars. Coilovers are lighter also. Change the rotors .You can also take the bumper support beams out but if you have an accident your car is going to take alot of damage. You can get custom CF, like bumper and door skins but it's gonna cost a **** load.

Thanks a bunch guys! I will probably do a few of these items as cash allows, but some of them I can't do because of SCCA regs (like molded shell seats or removing the rear seat) I was hoping to find some lighter bumper mounts or something, but if I can just take out some supports I think I can probably get away with that, its not like I'm gonna be competitive enough for someone to contest me anytime soon.
