more weight reduction

after reading through a TON of different threads for some time now, i guess i just want to know what metal i can ditch form the inside of the car, such as from the rear hatch, doors, rear quarters (where speakers went) etc...

For a race only car, you can look at my web site to see what I've removed.

If it's track only, remove anything not related to speed or track safety.
If it's to stay street legal, there are limits as to how much should be removed.

it will be a mostly track car. However i will take it out on the streets every now and again, im not TOO worried about street legality of the car. My fiero has so much different stuff that isnt "street legal" its rediculous.
