That's a really interesting comment about keeping the weight in the rear for traction...I had not thought about that.
My car has the carbon fiber hood and fenders from GT Racing; and we got the sunroof delete roof from Porsche. We gutted the doors rather than replacing them. A few fellows from this group helped me make that decision and I think it was the correct one, too.
We removed the H/V/AC system completely and also the windshield wiper assembly. We also removed the headlights and the power steering system.
The dash has been replaced with a carbon fiber piece from GT Racing and we put in a few extra gauges, like oil temp, coolant temp, and boost.
Most of the carpeting has been removed...I still am working on taking out the last of the glue! Of course I did it backwards; I put in the cage before removing the dash and all the glue and carpeting. So, now I'll have to go back and paint the inside.
I was planning on replacing the rear hatch with Lexan, but maybe I'll give that some more thought.

Thanks for your replay Jason
Removing H/V/C sounds like a good idea as it is not going to cost any money. Everything else will have to wait as I am still driving this car to all of the track events.
How difficult would be to drive with out power steering on 265/35/18 tires at the front? I like your idea of deleting PS. I will give a test run tomorrow. Negative 3.3 camber should make things a lot easier than I think.
With your rear hatch you will lose approximately 38kg I have been told from people that have done it here in Australia and it maybe a very good thing if you are running standard engine power.
How does it feel being that much lighter at the front? does it under steer at full throttle at high speeds when turning in? I understand that your suspension has been set up to work with that.
