Default Getting the S2k on a diet

I don't know if this was the right section to post this but here goes. I haven't really done much research other than finding out that the Spoon and Opera S2k are extremely light. I'd like to get the S to lose about 400lbs. I don't care too much about carpet, door panels, sound deadening ,etc. Is it difficult? Is there a master list out there that I can use?

FYI, this forum (and car) has 10+ years of history.

I recommend you try a SEARCH, as owners have been lightening this car since it was first released.

I have found that its VERY VERY difficult to lose a ton of weight in this car. Most of the weight is in the chassis and frame.
you can remove the soft top, ac, door panels, radio, and seat, and will still probably weigh like 2600-2550 lbs. The body panels are light enough where carbon fiber wont make too much of a difference.
Id like to here from people who have gutted their car.
Is it possible?

Thanks. I just now used google. It searches these forums way faster.
