Here's a tip for anyone who is thinking there's even the slightest chance they ever might turn their street car into a competition car where weight is a factor... don't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever...

...ever put bitumen adhesive-type sound insulation (Dynamat or the like) into your car. Don't worry about that annoying road noise on the highway, your pain now will pale in comparison to what will happen when you eventually try to take the goddamn stuff out to remove weight. Here's a photo of what took me about an hour to do.. and the panel I was working on there isn't anywhere close to clean. I'm gonna have to work on the car section by little section... this might take months.
