yea i will weigh the car as soon as possible after its done. the interior is COMPLETELY stripped of all panels, rear seats, unessesary wiring, and i even stripped it of other things such as the rear window wiper assembly and similar things, even the old paint off to bare metal before the primer, LOL. so this should be pretty close to as light as a S13 can get without replacing panels and windows with composite materials and lexan.
here is a site for ITBs

they are technically for the SR20DE but im sure it sould be easy to adapt them to run with a plenum on a SR20DET.

UPDATE - 7/26/06
so i spent about the last 2 weeks on the crazy cuztom interior:
when i bought the car:
i got it to look like this:
then i primered it:
then the actual paint:
and while i was taking apart my motor to clean and replace some parts i find chunks of chain tensioner everywhere. so apparently the chain tensioner blew up, but it cant be too big of a deal. i will post another update when the engine is finally in the car or if something funny happens.
