You can pull the foam insulation crap off the back sides of the carpet. That'll net you ~10 lbs.

If your car was undercoated, remove the undercoating. Its a long, difficult, nasty job, but it will net you ~100lbs AND you won't have to worry about getting that nasty crap on you when you work under the car anymore. Cleaning the undercarriage is a cinch too - Krylon flat black.

Take out all of your power options and put in manual stuff.....no radio or speakers......remove front sway bar...no hood shocks or hinges, just hood pins & keep a stick with ya....remove your spare tire and jack....fuel cell.......battery in the trunk(not really saving weight....reminds me you guys see the saturns now have their battery in the trunk)........once you take off all of this stuff then you can throw a huge roll bar in there.......

Aluminum: pulleys, Vega manual sterring box, shocks, oil pan, trans pan, rear end cover, 9" rear carrier, ...9" converter, odyssey battery, hollow sway bar, skinny rims up front, bench seat or racing bucket seats....
