fiberglass doors and lift-off front clip.
hopefully to the tune of 500lbs weight loss. The doors weigh 17lb each and the front clip is 25lb.
Different dampers and maybe an aluminum flywheel/dual plate clutch.

thats bout it.

I'm going to do some things to improve braking (again), etc. Also, try to clean up the car some, fix headliner, fix broken console, replace hand holds, blah, blah. Oh and try to solve the vibration issue.
