I think someone was referring to the SCC article (done some time ago) where they stripped all the HVAC system and most of the interior (and I think one of the rear handbrake cables...). I think it was a Civic that they did this to. It saved hella weight.

I like the research data that was presented. For me, I don't autocross or do anything that would require my tC to become a stripped-down can-on-wheels. I love quiet. I love amenities. I love comfort.

I think someone should go all the way by stripping all unnecessary hardware, leaving just a driver's seat and steering wheel (like a demolition derby vehicle but without a roll cage). Better yet, take off the body hardware and just drive around on the chassis...that would be sweet
