Getting all the sound deadening out makes a huge difference I believe.

Without a rollcage you can only go so far as the car still needs to be safe. Interior trim, sound deadening, AC, sunroof, 4WS, and interior blower are all the major bits that can be removed. Once a cage is installed you could go nuts chopping out bits of metal from the inside fo the car.

You have probably seen this thread before but its still the best example of how to get the weight down:

Well..... there was something there on my car. Im struggling to remeber if it was the rear seat blank or the 4WS mounting bracket

Either way it can be removed.
