Saving weight on Street / AX car, getting carbon & fiberglass parts Options

[GaroldShaffer]

Looks like I have a direction that I wan't to go with my car. I want a street car that is good, no make that great, AX car also. I don't want to strip it down but I am willing to do mods or changes to help make it lighter and handle better. My car is a 70 with a FI 74 2.0L with Euro P&C's & side shift with stock sway bars and koni adjustables all around.

So far the only mods I have done to shave weight from my car is get an extra set of Fuch rims to replace the stock steel rims I was using for AXing and I have lost 22 lbs myself since last season. Oh, and I don't have firewalll pad in the engine bay. I have been thinking of ordering the Getty carbon fiber lids and replacing my stock valances for fiberglass ones. Is there any other ideas you have? I plan to leave the radio in the car (got to have tunes for street driving).

First things first. Find out what class you will be running in, and read the rules for car prep until you can recite them in your sleep backwards. Then start making mods. I'd be a bummer to get that carbon fiber ash tray cover and find it puts you into a much higher performance class, running against trailer cars on slicks...
