Lightweight wheels are also something that's forgotten about. Bigger heavier rims make for more sluggish acceleration, although bigger rims are more stylish and close the fender wheel gap. I want 17's but I wanna burn some fat so I'm gonna get RPF1s and save 4lbs per corner, enkei claims a lb of unsprung (wheel) weight is equal to 20lbs of normal car weight, I've heard from other people 10lbs is more accurate. Regardless, ~160lbs is still very good I can always tell the difference in acceleration with a passenger
Then there are carbon body panels but hell if you're really about it just start taking all of the body panels and doors off

Best bang for your buck would actually be selling yours and buying my vq30 car... It's painful to think how much I put into it in the last 500miles just to pick up a new project car

The purpose of NWP Spacers is to insulate aluminum parts to help reduce heat transfer from the engine to the intake air in the intake manifolds. The 00vi is already a composite plastic material, so installing a phenolic spacer (insulator) between the LIM and UIM really isn't going to do a whole lot.
On the flip side, no matter what UIM you are using, the NWP LIM spacers are always a good idea because the heads and LIM are both aluminum.

I'll have a MEVI with NWP spacers for sale soon. It will come with the vacuum cannister, new carbon fiber cover with mounting bracket and matching new carbon fiber spark plug cover for $350 plus shipping. EGR has been blocked off on it and TB neck has been ported to 70mm to match up with a PFTB (can be included for an additional fee but will have to be drilled by schmellyfart or you will have to make an adapter). PM if interested.
