Components(all S13 hatch):

-HVAC blower motor(looks heavy, never taken it out)

-HVAC control flap/heater core box(I'd like to keep my heat, but if I can simplify the flaps with some cables I'd look into it to save some weight)

-hatch rear glass

-rear quarter windows

The rear 1/4 windows are surprisingly light, leave them be...

-rear bumper bar(stock)

This also weighs a crapton. I went nuts with a plasma cutter on my old fastback one and I swear when I was done the entire bumper assembly weighed as much as the support alone used to...
