Relatively easy weight loss comes from:
1- Very heavy carpet mat over the top of the engine compartment (obviously you will hear the engine more.
2- Speaker console mounted on top of that heavy carpet mat (the lower speakers in the doors work pretty well without it - this is not a concert hall)
3- Low weight battery. Lots of options on this look around. The Deka and Odessy batteries are fairly light weight, and reliable if you put them on a trickle charger when not in use. Pegasus Racing was having a sale recently on some super light weight Lithium batteries. With any of these, you may need to fabricate some hold down means.
4- Light weight exhaust (Fabspeed, etc)
