My guess is you'll need to work on the front, which is quite hard work/expensive.

Things from my list:
Front subframe replacement (significant)
Front lexan windshield (significant)
Lighter flywheel (prolly done)
Lighter intake (ITBs/prolly done)
Lighter exhaust manifold (racing ones are already light)
Remove Flip lights, replace with manual construction and led lights
Lightweight alternator or Daihatsu Denso one.
Lighter wheels,
Alloy Struts/dampers

Compared to that the rear is easy (chop chop)

I have not had it on the scales yet, but I have done a lot of weight savings!

I have sub frame on the list too... I cant run a lexan window as the car is road registered, but the rear hatch and quarter windows are lexan. I have a light weight flywheel and exhaust manifold (side exit behind the passenger door. Which alternator do you recommend? I know some are suggesting Mitsubishi ones.
