Finaly somebody with taste! The vr-4 is a great car!I don`t have any tips for you but i think it would be better to get more horsies than loosing weight!

u got a lot of work to do to make it light. try gutting it complketely. my friend got it down to 3200. new hood definetly.
u raced a wrx and only beat it by 4 car lenghts? u better have a lot of money to invest if u want it to be fast, vr4 parts are loot.

and those turbos were known to give up... how many miles on the car? I would try and find a good mechanic (someone who knows the 3000gt.. not just some new mitsu guy...) b/c those things are a ***** to maitain...

I had mine gutted and completely reframed. mine is est. 2800lbs give or take 1-99lbs.
Usually buying a body kit to replace the heavy ass stock one will
free up alot of weight and the hood on it is pretty heavy as well. I'd go carbon fiber with hood and since you don't have shit load of money i can't tell u to have carbon/kevlar body kit.
Have a professional gut your insides and put a nice lookin non-cheap ass body kit (fiberglass) and see if you can find a poly-urethane body kit.

Performance wise plzzz replace the exhaust you will free up loads of torque and
hp by replacing it with a less restrictive one and also have a aftermarket downpipe installed. You could be talkin bout 30-40+hp improvement and it would weight less than the stock dp and exhaust and sound hella nicer also.
