By now everybody and his brother has seen Colonel's weight reduction thread over at LS1Tech. Mike's (94Bird's) thread over at LS1.com was a big hit also.

In another week or two I'll be doing a bunch of weight reduction to the car and getting it ready for a 6-point rollbar over the summer. So I decided to pull up Mike's thread and assemble the several posts into a checklist to use on my own car. It's a great list of weight reduction specific for cars that still have to be able to turn (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mike's list (as well as Colonel's) can be accessed as a formatted Excel spreadsheet here.
