im supprised no one has mentioned this yet......

get rid of the seats!!!!!
and get some after market ones, they are much lighter.....

also as other ppl have said

also get rid of the soft top all together and get a CF HT instead (that will save you some weight)

new lighter rims, get a new lighter header, and single exhaust.

he was looking for "FREE" weight savings.....yours are "not free" weight savings.

I realize free weight savings is very limited on the S so I'll accept your suggestion Adam

go on a diet

what if you're only 140 lbs?

and your gf is skinny?

as far removing spares... i'd rather carry a cell phone & AAA card. when's the last time you've actually put on a spare on the side of the road???

Replace exhaust, header, and flywheel with lighter variants and you should be over 50-60 lbs in savings with those 3 things.

Anybody ever experimented with the frame of the car. I think I saw a website with Amuse selling lighter aluminum frame parts reduce it by like 100 lbs or so. I'll try to find the site.
