Nissan 240sx how light can you go?

I have a 90 240sx hatch, and am wondering how light I can get it, but still be streetable, was hoping 2500lbs? if possible?

car is 2884lbs w/ me in it right now?
Where do I start?

my dash has some cracks in it, is there a light weight dash out there? I know of the lightweight rear windsheild, from [url]www.importsoul.com


Carbon fiber body kit?

You can turn everything into CF, that would be a trip.

It would be light though.

man. you can get 2500lbs pretty easy.
especially if you have a base model and spend a little for lexan.

CF for doors and panels.

Lexan for glass.

Will you notice the difference?

Maybe not.

What are your plans for this car?

And are we talking wishy washy or for real?

CF or not an actual bodykit would add weight.
