Default Spare tire, all of the foam in the front & rear bumpers, seat belt assemblies (go harness)...

smoke alot of crack & drop your bodyweight down to about 90Lb.

Lighter wheels, Carbon fibre hood, no sunroof...somebody else can continue...

Default He's still working on the new Silver S4...he really discovered that Silver is the fastest!!

with KKK04 and RS4 intercoolers (for those that don't know yet). Perhaps he'll weigh it once all the part are back together again.

Default carpet in trunk

also:
Whatever it is in the rear seat backs that makes them so heavy. If you don't keep anything in the trunk, you don't need that reinforcement to keep that stuff back there in a wreck.

If you really wanna get crazy:
stereo
rear seats
dash
window roll-down hardware (go fixed)
power lock hardware

Default Almost forgot you need...

To remove the entire body and replace it with a chromoly steel roll cage and have a funny car-style plastic or carbon fiber look-alike lift-off body.

That's what I'M going to do! Not.<p>2001 Audi S4 (Nogaro, Oct/Nov Delivery)
