What I have done so far
 
Top of rear seats
Spare
Tool box and support
Pulled the fronts for real race seats
Stock air box
A/C out with FMIC in its place
Secondary pump
Steering wheel out for a sparco race wheel
Rear speakers

With 1/4 tank of fuel and driver the car was 3175 on the scale. Car might be a little more now with the new turbo and full 3" exhaust, so I might have to pull more weight removal mods.

no a/c? I couldn't live without it. not bad since I'm at 3298...
 
without spare, rear seat, and 1/4 tank + 2 subs, amp and my fata$$ that could lose 15-20 lbs.

I am used to the heat with working inside cars on dealership lots
 
in vegas and palmsprings during the summers.

My 3175 was with all of the rear seats in, so it should have been about 30-40 lbs lighter if I took them out. The first time I got on the scale at Pomona raceway it was 3220 with 1/8th tank, rear seats out and me in.

dude i'm dead smack in FL, but I never use my AC even in summer,
 
always cruise with the windows down. as soon as the car moves, it's like free AC :). (unless i'm on highway)
