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).
