How To Get To 1800 lbs, How to Lighten My Racecar Options

[motorvated]

Just put in my fresh 2.0 liter motor, replacing my stock 1.8 liter and it is definitely a much stronger motor and my lap times have gone down. I’m still a little slower than I would like to be, but driver skill aside, I’m wondering how best to shave some weight from the car. It already has fiberglass Chalon fenders and bumpers on it, but stock hood, trunk, and door skins. One racing seat, no top, fake Fuchs, header exhaust, fuel cell, 6-point cage. Don’t know what it weighs right now, but I’m sure it’s not anywhere near 1800 lbs. So where do people find the weight savings? My door panels don’t weigh very much, and I can remove them and the door glass too. I prefer to keep the stock windshield but could remove the rear window if that would help aerodynamically but that may be unsafe from a fire spread perspective. Could remove headlight assemblies and install fiberglass hood and trunk. I usually run without the engine cover. Any thoughts on this?
