Here are some ideas

-remove all plastic interior pieces
(all of the pillar plastic, headliner)
-remove rear seats and rear door panels
-carbon hood/trunk
-light wheels
-light flywheel
-lighter shocks/springs
-remove spare tire and jack
-remove all panels from trunk area
-remove carpet and all tar under carpet
-jdm rear and 5mph bar removal
-carbon fenders
-lighter front seats
-remove antenna and rear trunk latch and lock

That should bring you way down on the weight

Thanks for the info. I was having a hard time finding the weight of the BBS MR wheels.

"i basically want to know if it is possible to shed like 200-300 lbs off the car, without going too ape ****. It is a daily driver."

fyi - cf hood and fenders ususally weigh more than stock.

The hood on my integra saved me 10 lbs

Another thing to consider is lexan windows. That saves ALOT of weight and its all off the top of the car where you should be removing weight from.

You have to remember a total drop in weight is not as important as where the weight is coming off of. If you are a straight drag racer I guess it doesn't matter too much, but if doing any other kind of driving besides that you want the car to remain balanced instead of removing a lot of weight from one specific area.

As far as not going too far on a daily driver I guess that is sort of subjective because I drive my integra on the street when I need to and it has absolutely nothing in it. It's pretty much a can.

I guess if you are willing to put in the time, but not willing to sacrifice the "look" of the stock car, you would be best to remove all the tar from the bottom of the car and under the carpet. That saves a good amount. Don't forget the wheel wells. And yes it will take a really long long long long time to get it out.

I have found one of the easiest ways to save weight is losing weight on your body. I know it sounds stupid but seriously, it's free, takes just as much work as removing the tar and you will look and feel better

My car still has A/C, full interior, and the rear crash beam at the 3,065 lbs I mentioned earlier. Also, just over 1/4 tank of gas.

Swapping stock suspension to coilovers always saves some weight, and it's unsprung weight, so that will help in your handling and braking more than some of the spung weight.
