weight reduction ideas??
The sticker will balance it out as it adds +50 HP to the wheels.
How about bucket seats? I think our stock seats are heavy with the electronics and airbags that are built into it.
Also the 18 airbags that the car has probably weigh a little of something.
I think Mike@DTH has many lightweight CF parts on his car. He can probably fill you in on this.

If you want to go all out, get some race seats, cf fenders, cf doors, cf hood, cf trunk, etc... There is definitely a point of diminishing returns though.

you could loose some of the creature comforts like speakers, headliner, dome light assemlies, etc. loosing parts is free. also moving the battery is pretty cheap and if you can get it into the bottom of the trunk is lowers cg a bit. pillar airbags would be a big help too since they are high up. don't forget to ditch the rear belts now that the seat is gone. all the little stuff adds up. weight balance has a lot to do with handling too.
My A4 before the cage went in was just over 2800 lbs. No AC but still running full glass and OEM electric windows and full dash.
We offer CF trunks(96/euro and North American), Hoods, Fenders and Doors. When you are ready to reduce the weight of your B5 hit me up.
BTW I just ordered 3 of those CF sun roof deletes. If you want one let me know, I can do $300 USPS Priority shipped in the 48 states on the ones I have coming.

Strip the car down hard-core. Delete the whole sound system. Delete sound deadening material and carpeting. Single shell seat for the driver, and a sheetmetal interior. Lose the dash (sheetmetal piece with essential aftermarket gauges (boost, oil pressure, tach, speedometer, etc)). Plus all the stuff that everyone else said. No door cards. No AC system (you can probably source a belt that'll be the right length for a compressor delete, plus ditch the condenser and dryer, etc), lose the washer reservoir and it's 12lbs or so of fluid. Ditch the foglights and related parts, plus the grilles, etc etc ad infinitum...
It's hardcore for sure but it'd do the trick - in this car the best way to save a pound is find 16 places to save an ounce. You will end up with a pretty ridiculous-looking A4 though.
Contact member TheRussian - he did some hairy **** to his car, ripping out pretty much anything that didn't seem to contribute to speed.

Maybe you should stop drinking. I had a buddy of mine get pulled over in Steamboat and the cop asked him if he had been drinking. He replied " Do you see any fat chicks in here" and the cop laughed his *** of and let him go
