Some weight reduction

I looked through a couple weight reduction threads (I'm not fat so I covered in that department) , what i was looking for some recommendations on a lighter battery and a set of aftermarket seats. Thanks

Not sure where to find them (maybe ebay if you're lucky) but Recaro has some super comfy lightweight seats.

Not sure about the battery, I'd say go to autozone or whatever and ask what their lightest battery is.

YOu can loose back seat, all the plastics, spare tire + trunk pieces, engine cover, fuel tank into a 1-2 gallon jug, aluminum wheels or if u can afford go with magneseum wheels. Oh wait, that sounds like a dragster =)
