Hey, you do know that although removing the transaxle, wheels, suspension, etc makes the car lighter, it's definitely not going to be faster
Are you chasing a shell weight ?

The coplete car should be around 1100 kg
W/O rear junk 950 kg
Shell only 250 kg.
If you can't afford the exta $1 o'gasoline I'd leave it be

Is the shell really that light? no doors/glass I assume?

I'm guessing that the "rear junk" is the gearbox/de-Dion assembly.
