                An auto to manual swap is good for saving probably around 50 lbs.

                  I heard having Heavy Rims and Lighter Body is good so the Heavy rims will keep the wheels down from slipping

                    No, more rotational mass is bad. Whoever told you that is wrong. The wheels are kept down with a stiffer suspension.

                              Say, how many people here actually have their car gutted and weighed? Mine is almost 100% gutted but I'm not able to weigh it since there isn't any engine in it. I'm curious as to the normal weight loss of a fully stripped CB7. I'm talking about seats, carpet, dash, trunk, headliner, back seats, with or without bumper supports or hood webbing.
