sorry for late response.
[MENTION=5905]JD Cross[/MENTION] yes sir, the goal it to get under 2400 lbs by next month. I have a few things planned to get to a goal to break 2300lbs eventually while retaining the same full interior.
[MENTION=14678]TURBO2GO[/MENTION] Thanks Dan!
here are some of the crazy ideas & educated "guesstimates" of what I'm considering doing.. all of them, would equal mid 2100's and still retain full interior and A/C ect... but realistically my goal is to eventually reach 2250 - 2299 lbs.... Nothing on the plan sacrifices the full interior nor A/C, the objective will always be to retain typical modded NSX-R look & drive-ability like any other fully functional normal car w/ GT3 amenities.
many of these are estimates and some quoted reductions are improvements to already light parts.

Carbon 6 XP Tie Rod -1,21 lbs -1.21
Comptech Adjustable Cam Gears for -3,77 lbs 2-3hp? -3.77
swap inside door structure steel to aluminum like NSX-R specs.. ? weight -5
Update: finally hit over 300whp N/A on E85 flex fuel and OEM engine internals with the 23lbs lighter custom CF manifold (air box is temporary) power band of each gear is very strong now (260@6000, 275@6500rpm, 290@7000, 300@7500, 290/280@8300)
At current 6.9 PW (2440lbs/303whp/350crank), we can confirm it's possible with OEM internals & stock RELIABILITY to achieve a similar acceleration rate of a new GTR =7 PW (3850lbs/550crank)..... and WAY beyond the original NSXR's = 8.6PW
started making the first part of the Super-lightweight structural cored carbon kevlar under aero panels, which may improve the aero a bit.. very rough finish, (all function & minimal form), huge 3.5' x 4' panel is 3.5lbs. (NSXR under battery tray panel is 8.5lbs and covers smaller area about 2.5'x3.5')
