Jobs being started today are pretty boring, but basically EVERYTHING is coming out ready to send it off for the cage to be done.
Heater and aircon weighs alot on its own!

Great thread! 
, it will be most interesting to watch the transformation, J's/tracysports track cars are 'the' best IMO.
Could you please weight the whole air con system?
Cheers

Should be interesting this.
Chassis wise, i'd like to see where you remove weight.
For me, the rear boot floor needs to be completely removed and replaced with a diffuser. You could go one stage further and have an exhaust blown jobbie too.
Doors/wings car be replaced with some vacuum formed plastic skins.
Real weigh can be removed from the suspension. All the arms are cast steel and are quite heavy. Porsche/VW (as i've been nosing around them recently) use cast aluminium. I'm sure that companies make aftermarket upper arms for the S2000, but not sure about lower. I'm sure you could fabricate pressed steel items though.
Staying with the suspension, the afore mentioned upper arm mounts wil need bracing. They did this on the 2004 model, but it'll need triangultion from each lug to chassis and not just a brace bar between the lugs.
Subframes are pressed steel, but have a lot of space so i'd seam weld, foam fill and have done with it, athough you can build in an elaborate cross brace design for them..
