Re: lightweight m3
weight loss is really about what you can live without. Trunk lining can go, spare tire and jack (sucks if you get a flat though), interior floor mats. and there is sound deadening material everywhere - in the doors, under the hood, behind the seats. You could go all out and gut the interior, passenger seats/seatbelts, door panels, window retract motors, glovebox, stereo, AC pump under the hood.
Now, all that said, I gutted a an old celica with the intent on making a dedicated autocrosser. After taking everything out that didnt directly make the car go, it really wasn't that much weight. I'd estimate 100 lbs max. Cheap, yes. Worth it? For a racecar, but not a daily driver.
