I don't yet have data on the weight of some of the parts we replaced such as the Ohlins or the Eventuri intake but they should be a bit lighter than OEM.

Fusion is currently making a titanium rear strut tower brace inside the boot. The extra rigidity should make the handling even better.

Did I mention we got a short shift linkage for the transmission? Can't wait to try it.
Gottagofast nice project & build...like your approach

Another significant weight reduction suggestion with multiple benefits - -replacement of OE seats capable of yielding ~60lbs savings [dependent on selection] along with improved driver feel, engagement and a more motorsport look.

Of course, I'm partial to IB/FR combo
