I know i live in edmonton, but hell our seats weight about 180 pounds (for both), 2 r100 sparco seats weight about 50 pounds, and they look awesome. Honestly im afrid to use my seat warming because i feel the constant expansion and contraction of the leather just makes the bubble issue worse

Let the air out of my spare, that's 35 pounds right off the top. Pulled half of the band aids out of my first aid kit and now my G is a screamin btich. Oh and I pull the manuals out of the trunk when I track her.

Although the diet plan is a good idea, I would still think about the weight balance issue. If that rear end becomes too light that GTM SC will send you into forever. It will be like hell trying to handle the car. Just saying. Maybe load up the trunk with subwoofers and amps to help balance it.
GL and keep us posted!

Weight balance will bwcome an issue
I regularly autocross my G. Just pulling carpet mats, spare and the jack reduce the weight by about 40 lbs. And that causes a noticible increase in understeer by making the car more nose heavy. You will have to play around with your tire pressures to get the car balanced, unless you have sway bars you can adjust. Here is a simple trick to drop about 140 lbs. And it doesn't require any mods. If you are autocrossing or running drags only carry 1/4 tank of gas or less. Its with a couple of seconds on the autocross. 12 gals. Of fuel weighs about 90 lbs. Just watch F1 and you'll understand the impact of fuel weight.
