Instructor
Thanks to feedback I found sound symposers today and getting rid of those next! I love finding useless extra weight! Curious is there a good symposer delete instruction? Do I need to worry about plugging vacuum lines etc? The holes into cabin aren’t issue as I’ll just cover with heat reflecting tape. I just haven’t seen what these sound trumpets hook into yet.
I've removed mine. The difference in sound was noticeable on my T. I also removed the rubber plugs used in the upper rear deck.

I ordered the car with all weight saving options like pccbs and carbon buckets as well as not ordering anything that would add weight other than sports chrono and RAS.
19 inch forged wheels
titanium lug bolts
aluminum body coilovers
titanium bolts replacing many steel bolts
titanium headers
sharkwerks muffler replacement
lightweight Tial intake runners
antigravity battery
no carpeted mats
Some heavier padded trim pieces replaced with lightweight carbon fiber
Non functional seat pads removed
front Lic plate replaced with license plate decal - no rear license plate frame
rear decklid plastics removed or modified
lightweight exhaust tips
RS Door pockets
tools, air compressor, etc removed
front trunk dressing removed
sun visor delete
cup holder delete
cabin air filter delete
i have bought replacement plastics for many areas and then sanded down or drilled many of plastics in non cosmetic places. New pieces are kept in storage when I want to return car to stock.
All my mods are easily reversed.
Planned weight reduction
Lightweight rear decklid. Fixed spoiler
lightweight cats

Presume you didn’t spec rear seats. Have you removed the front passenger seat, or would that be considered ‘cheating’.
In the UK, we could even delete PCM/audio/satnav, but don’t think you got that option in the US?

Some screens are in the rear-view mirror, so not exactly true that center console screens are a must. A lot of cars were like this at first, crappy stereo with no screen, and a weird little backup camera that would activate in the rear view mirror. That’s also how some of the r spec cars are (e.g. GT350R) that come with factory radio delete.

Nice, that’s how mine was spec’d. I kind of wish it had RAS and PCCB, but those weren’t deal breakers for me. It mattered most to me that the car came from a good owner and was in good condition, and was manual and slicktop. I really love the LWBS but would maybe not recommend for a daily driver unless you’re pretty limber and agile, crawling in/out can be problematic for some, but once you’re in the seats are amazingly quiet comfortable. The base Carrera brakes are the glaring obvious weak point with the car, so depending on your use you may find they will need some upgrade. Driving around the city and normal spirited driving (including auto cross) the base brakes are no issue, so really it just depends on your use case if you’ll “want” the PCCB or not. They’re a rare and expensive option so they drive price a lot, and can be an easy 10% cost over a car with base brakes. That’s why I think they’re more an “optional, nice if possible, but not having isn’t a show stopper.” The RAS is a nice option, can make the car feel a bit “smaller” and more agile, but it’s more complexity, plus the cup cars don’t have RAS and they seem to still perform well. RAS is a toss up for me, but for some it’s must-have. If all else on a car were perfect I wouldn’t lose sleep if it didn’t have RAS or PCCB.

The brightness in your picture......is that actual sunshine? Haven't seen it much recently so I kind of forget how it looks!
Haha yes! I even had to wear sunglasses. I almost forgot I owned them.
