Cool Weight reduction!

There are probably threads on this, but I'm too lazy to do a search. Sorry! So I'd like to start a new one.

I'd like to reduce the weight of my car as much as possible without going overboard to sacrifice the necessities, such as removing the interior and stuff. I've removed the spare tire and tools, but what else can I do?

Anyone can just add ideas on here. Even one at a time is just fine. Thanks and looking forward to reading them.

Reduce the weight of my CAR.

I'd love to have a 2400-lb S with full interior and stuff.

ive heard of race batteries (probably an extra 15 lbs less)
drain your washer fluid (an extra 2-3 lb wont hurt)

-Big Brake Kit usually drops a few pounds
-Light weight 16" rims
-Take out the sound deadening
-Bucket seats
-Single exit titanium exhaust
-Replace softop with hardtop
-Aftermarket Header
-Aftermarket Intake
-Aftermarket Suspension
-Spare tire and tools
-Carbon fiber hood and trunk
-Take out radio and speakers
-Take out carpeting and insulation in the trunk area

And thats all i can really think of for now. I don't know if 2400 pounds will be seen with interior pieces.
