The crazy 2000 lb Cayman S AX car project. Being a decade long 914 owner I'm always trying to get same feeling 914 brings in my more modern cars. With Cayman S that means getting nearly 10000 lbs out of the car. It's a long tedious project for garage project but hey here it is. Down to roughly 2150 lbs and that's with wide body and aero . Still have another easy 100 lbs to remove from dash and other places. I knew I'd get close as my 1975 lb Boxster project car had full cage and mostly steel body panels and doors.

Well, how did you do it? What can you eliminate? How much fiberglass does it take? Can you elimant things like power steering/brakes at that point? What year car is it? How does it drive now? Congratulations!
