KA with intake. Still have all smog-legal parts in place, factory manifold, 3" cat to 3" aluminized mild steel piping to Magnaflow muffler.

Also running 245/40R17 RE01Rs on CE/TE combo.

Switching from heavy Optima or stock-sized battery to a Braille will almost guarantee you at least 20lbs weight savings.

I have both bumper supports.

Here's a nearly complete list of what's been removed or replaced to save weight:
-all interior panels except door panels and dash, no glovebox, head unit, headliner, or center console
-rear seats
-most of the sound deadening except on rear wheelwells and driver's and passenger's footwells ahead of cross bar thing
-AC compressor, compressor bracket, condensor, condensor fan, and most of the lines
-replaced Optima with Braille B14115 and relocated to behind passenger seat
-replaced stock power belts with S14 manual belts
-removed stock power sunroof and riveted sheet aluminum in its place
-replaced stock trunk lid with carbon trunk lid, held shut by 2 pins and 2 latches
-replaced stock hood with FG hood, held shut by 4 pins
-removed cruise control
-removed all speakers
-removed antenna
-removed all unnecessary wiring inside the passenger compartment and currently working my way forward
-lightweight flywheel (it's not much but it counts)
-removed clutch fan
-replaced driver's seat with Sparco Pro2000
-USDM front end replaced with Silvia front end
-removed e-brake assembly (necessitated by braking upgrade)
-removed spare (I live life on the EDGE! )
-removed all unnecessary bracketry
-removed wheel well liners
-removed flux capacitor

Here's where I've added weight:
-wheel/tire combo (despite the CEs/TEs each being 3/2lbs, respectively, lighter than stock, the much bigger tire increases the weight)
-front DC Sports strut tower brace
-Nams shakitto plates
-Ultra Racing fender braces
-Nismo TC bracket brace
-Koyo radiator
-Whiteline sways
-SPL subframe and rear link braces
-all the rear links
-aftermarket FLCAs
-coilovers with camber plates
-VLSD diff cover

I'm sure I forgot a couple things but that's about it.
