I had -210 lbs out of mine with full interior

I'm probably back to even now with the turbo/IC and stuff.

you could drain washer fluid, or just remove the whole thing.

You can go with a Hardtop and remove the convertable top and motors. I think the oem will save like 30lb and the carbon fiber pieces will save even more.

Not too sure about this one. I have removed the softtop/motor assembly and have a hardtop(oem). I didn't weigh the softtop assembly, but it doesn't feel like it's 30lbs heavier.

Shedding weight at the lower points such as the coilovers, wheels, rotors, and exhaust raise the CoG, but I'm not sure to what extent. Heck, it might not be worth mentioning.
