That's the bulk of what you can do to any car that you would want to reduce in weight.

Remove your spare tire, lighter wheels, tires, carbon hood, trunk lid, rear seat and driver needs diet! Many racing drivers were tiny and weights under 200 pounds.

Sell the car or get an IS350.
IS250 is not made for speed.

Can't really say that... since the RSX is the same grade with IS250(engine size) just that the IS250 loaded with many options e.g. leather seats... buy if you want to race you should turn off the TRC and turn on the PWD and use manual shift... and foot all down...haha
