What have you done to your Miata today?

It's better than it looks, but it's not great. I'm adding a 2nd pair of 2x12x16s this weekend. The trailer is a bit wide and the car a bit narrow is all. It's fine if I have someone to spot me right now, but as far as driving up solo, no thanks. With the wider decks, it'll be a lot better.
Why?
1. weight savings
2. I never really have a passenger so complaints will be invalid
3. I'm going to do a 90-93 dash swap eventually
I love how every time I tell someone of something else I strip from the car, they ask why. Because I feel like it, because a Miata is light as s*** and making it lighter is as much fun to me as adding power. I removed the washer bottle/pump, all the carpet behind the seats, and I'm removing the rest of the carpet tomorrow. AC/PS removal soon. Because I want to. Because my goal is to get below 2,000lbs. Because I love my car and I love not being a ricer.

cheaper to take s*** out then boost?Yeah, but why?
holy s***, 1700? Is that even possible? lol how do you plan on doing that? Remove all body panels and reinforcement bars and passenger seat and replace all glass with Lexan? haha
also note, the flush-mount headlight kit on gomiata.com claims a 25lb weight reduction from the barndoor headlights. I wonder how true this is, because just based on that fact, they are on my to-get list.

i didn't actually weigh them, but i can vouch for it
They're WAY lighter than the pop up assemblies
that's step 1. Windshield & all door glass is coming out. No top at all, the interior, the headlight assemblies (the barndoors will remain), the bumper supports, and a lot of superfluous wiring / etc. Even my intake's going to be lighter by a couple pounds over what's in there now (stock w/ heavy Racing Beat elbow intake). It Aaaaaaaaaall adds up
. Hell, going from 15" wheels & street tires to lightweight 13" wheels and slicks saved is going to be dropping over 40 lbs...its a 1.6l it should fit
It'll be for sale, I'll let you know when.
