Fun lightweight on a base model

well just weighed my 86 base about a week ago, with 1/2 tank of gas it weighs 2200lbs exactly (according to the scale i was on, it was accurate to within 10lbs with 10lb increments so it could've been 2200-2204)

car is 100% stripped, no side windows, no interior, 1 seat, full corksport exhaust, remove a/c and heater systems, removed heat shields.

full mod list is:

S5 motor, UOR underdrive pulley, thermal pellet bypass, custom intake, modded/ported TB and S5 intake manifolds, Magnecor 10mm spark wires, Mazdaspeed coolant mod, Koyo N-Flow radiator, Mazdaspeed 1.3bar rad cap, Samco rad hoses, taurus e-fan, premix, Mazdaspeed oil pan baffle plate, alt dual pulley, CS SS clutch line, CS SS oil cooler lines, CS rad panel, CS header (soon SDJ), CS 2.5" pre silencer, CS catback, 100% removed emissions, 100% removed a/c and heater systems, ACT 9.5lb flywheel, TII tranny, Tanabe lower arm bar, f/r strut bars, delrin motor/tranny/diff/subframe mounts, delrin f/r control arm bushings, delrin dtss eliminators, Simpson 5 pt harness, racing seat, RE-A mirrors.

also planned is some more lightening in the future, lexan hatch, FRP hatch surround, fibreglass hood, fenders, cf sunroof cover, lighter battery, and a few other things i can take off for more weight loss, hoping to be at 2000-2120 when done

the S4's are supposed to be the lightest models (~2600lbs) so you guys got a good start.
