Lightest FD3S possible???

What would a FD3S weigh if you did everything
you could to lighten/reduce weight in race
trim.

WITH IN REASON.. realistically..
Not all Carbon fiber body and engine and etc.

Like removing door panels, passenger door,
carpeting, spare tires and etc..

Thanks

A couple of people have got them down to 2400lbs supposedly, and I am sure one or two may have went a little lower. Kevin Wyum's car was light as hell although I don't know the weight I think it was in the low 2k lb's range. But that's removing alot, and I mean alot of stuff.

Ti expands when it heats up... unless you want to squeze an apex seal through your manifold....
