sounds cool.
the 1st thing im going to try to do is weight reduction. That car aint light, you all know that. Is there a way i can cut weight but still keep my stock interior look? Like i like my seats, dash,trim it all looks really nice i dont wish to tamper with that.

do you like my rims as they are now or should i change them as well
I don't think you need to worry about weight reduction. The car only weighs around 2,800 pounds, that isn't heavy. If you really want to remove weight then I suggest you relocate the battery to the trunk and replace the standard one with an Optima, they weigh less. You can remove sound dampening material in the car but the road noise will increase. You could also change out your wheels for some expensive lightweight wheels. Reducing your unsprung weight will make a HUGE difference.

For the most part I agree with what fiberglass civic said. However, you shouldn't have to replace the VR4 turbos that quick unless the previous owner didn't know how to take care of them.
