Usually there will be a carbonfilter to "catch" fueldamp. In holland this is not required so it can be removed. Only a few kg though.

hi truls000, where are you located? have pics of your car?

camshafts you can find at www.larkspeed.com - Kent Cams, Cat Cams. you can check specs in their site http://www.kentcams.com/ and http://www.catcams.be/

you can try Taylor Engineering, I think they regrind your original cams http://www.taylor-eng.com/

to reduce more weight you can try Lexan (polycarbonate) windows but I think its too expensive...

some "honda lovers" here to save weight remove ABS, air conditioner and hydraulic wheel assistance...too much radical for me 8)
