you could after replacing the back window with some light weight material move the battery to the back to compensate.
(you can also replace the seats with light weight high performance seats. Again, weight reduction = $$$$$$

is it me or did I get burned? [/b][/quote]
how much did you pay for your seats? if you buy the name brands that are actually worth it that are decent on the street, no. the lightest seats i've seen to date, weight in roughly 5-10lbs. the downfall is that they are very uncomfortable and designed for short distances(drag racing). they run anywhere from 100-150$.

I haven't done any mods to my cars as of yet (I got two) a red 88 manual and a white 91 automatic
the white one doesn't run yet, so first things first I got to make them run. then I'll worry about lightweight mods.
About the plastic windows, I know a couple of people in the street racing scene that have replaced some windows on their Hondas. now, as long as the cops don't know you have replaced the windows it's not street illegal is it?

My yellow monster got the following mods to lighten up ...
Striped out Rear - no back seats carpet or side paneling.
and it gets really noisy back ther..
A/C done away with ...
No spare wheels.
Relocating the battery to the boot.

Thinking of ditching that big skid pan underneath the engine as well.
Also loosing some weight on those heavy doors !

Remember less weight better accleration less braking and less weight round the corners.
