i have seen even the hatch on carbon but expensive as hell. this car are heavy so it`s going to cost you a few $$ to get it lighter , if i was you i`ll be thinking on a 1jz or upgrading the engine, but like i said they are pretty heavy. good luck . Q

take off the a/c compressor, a/c rad and lines. thats a good start. The power driver seat is stupid heavy. so replacing it will reduce your weight.

Don't fall into the weight reduction game unless you want to make the car for the track. The car will still be heavy even if you shed a few hundred pounds. It is easier to add power than to try to lose excess weight.
