The car is all steel 914/6 with the excepton of lids and bumpers. It has a substantial cage. I just ordered a lightweight battery ...around 4lbs and will ditch the optima red top. Including the battery tray I estimate this will get me 34lbs. I also ordered a lightweight starter I think this gets me 10lbs.
That leaves me 70lbs. I've thought about fiberglass doors...maybe. Anyone have any other suggestions? |

What's the config of the car? My ITB-spec chassis comes in at 1874# empty of fuel, no driver. That's pretty much a stock body with rollcage and gutted doors, Panasport 15x7s and 205 Hoosier R7s.

That's pretty much a stock body with rollcage and gutted doors, Panasport 15x7s and 205 Hoosier R7s. Pretty much like stated. All steel including flares, robust cage, reinforced chassis etc., gutted doors, headlights and motors removed, rear window is plastic, steering column stripped, dash stripped, aluminium case 2.5 twin plug with 915/wevo gearbox, 15x8/9 fuchs. enduro fuel cell... etc.  |

The aluminum case 6 and the 915 account for around 150 lbs compared to a 4 cyl car. Sounds like between what you're already doing and with mepstein's list, there are some good areas to drop some weight.
