Take a hole saw and cut holes in the rear 1/4 panels so it looks like swiss cheese, ,that'll scrap another 5 pounds off at least... (thats what we used to do to RC drag cars!!)

you could cut out the entire passenger side and back bottom of the car and keep the driver side for a seat

that should cut off another 50 lbs or more

Come one now! How could you do that to a RX!!!!!!

You missed a lot of stuff!!

Haven't you read how to make a Neon fast?
You don't need that hefty gas tank!
You don't need anything after the rear wheels so chop it off!

And definitely Chop top.
Then cut circular holes in all the supports to shave extra weight off.

You don't need fenders or a front end anyways!

Just stradle the frame rails. LOL
