It doesn't get a ton lighter than the Tercel haha. It weighs in at 1925 lbs.

The current mod for the trans I'm looking at is dropping an automatic's 4spd differential gearing in it. The extra 5spd manual Paseo (which is what I have laying around) trans has a stock 3.94 diff ratio where as the automatic has a 2.82. I still have to verify that it'll physically fit. If it does, that means I'll be running just under 1400 rpm (vs 1940) @ 45 mph and 2000 (vs 2800) @ 65 for the freeway drivers.
