Nice start to what will be a good track car. Your a fair bit ahead of me, I'm struggling to find time to do anything to my track car project.
Removing all the sound deadening is a worthwhile but labourious task, I've got about half of it out so far and that alone weighs around 10Kg. A combination of chiselling and heatgun.
Personally, I would stick with the 17's, yes tyres are a bit more expensive but lowering needs to be done at the suspension end as you end up with funny camber angles. Acceleration will come from extra power from an induction kit and a decent exhaust set up.
Remove the aircon, there is a lot of weight there and it releases some power from the engine due to it not having to power an extra pulley.
If you can afford it, some fibreglas seats would be better, they are much lighter than recliners and give a lot more support.
Good luck with it and keep your thread up to date as I'm subscribing to it.
We are off to Blyton Park this weekend but with the Pumesta as the 180 is a long way off being ready for the track.
