decreasing 914 weight Options

[ModPR3]

tried running some searches on this but didnt find what i needed. how can i trim some weight off the 914. all i can come up with is:

fiberglass hood, trunk, 916 front and rear bumber and fender flares. how much do you think these changes will make and does anyone any other ideas for taking weight off.

As stated above fiberglass or carbonfiber hood and trunk, fiberglass bumpers, use a heat gun and scrape out all the floor tar, remove the sound deadening blanket behind the rear seats, remove the pad in the engine compartment, Remove rear valance, cut out the muffler heat shield, headers, remove all the heater equipment, you can remove lower portion of the dash and save 5-6 lbs, go with early model doors, plexiglass rear window, remove the door pockets/shleves, replace with simple RS like pulls, remove back pad and then install lightweight carpet. Get rid of the washer fluid reservoir if its still in the car. Get a lightweigh battery.

If you want to get more radical you can pull out the radio, front trunk springs, rear trunk springs, remove the headlight motors and fabricate something to manually lift lights.

Also dont forget to focus on rotating weight, wheels and tires, lightened flywheel.
