    is there any carbon fibre rims?
    j/k

    nevermind, i know weight reduction is much more diffcult than gain HP on a vehicle

    thats why those racing cars throw ton of $ just to get a slight amount of weight off

    so lets change this topic to -> how to save on gas

    1)Synthetic engine oil
    2)higher tire pressure (lol)
    3)use higher octane gasoline?

    ok peeps, why would you spend your or your parents hard earned money and then strip ur car down thinking ur gonna free up a great amount of hp.
    Are you building a race car? Probably not so honestly whats the point? I can understand the lighter wheels and small things like that, but to strip ur rid down to achieve a goal that is seriously pointless.
    dont get me wrong i would love for our cars to be faster, but there are good companies out there that can help you achieve this through the product that they are developing.
    Do it right first.

    The Fastest 4 cylinders NA cars in the world

    a) Lotus Elise ( use Type R engine / Celica GTS VVT engine as well)
    b) S2000
    c) Integra type R
    They all do about 0-60mph arround 5. something sec
    light weight = save gas, better vehicle's body reaction, and fast accleration
