first step..empty your bonnet..including removing your spare tyre,tools,floor boards,carpets,plastic panel cover...

-remove seats and carpets..also replace driver seat with lightweight bucket seat....front passenger seat also remove...with a set of spanners u can simply remove the seat...just require some time and energy to do it alone....

-remove door panels,replace power window with mechanical winding type(or better fix window that can't be opened)

-use some thinner and scrapper to scrap all tar-soundproofing materials on the body...

and replace all four window with plexan clear plastic type window...

my bet...less than 900kilos of weight....

if u want to use your car for drag...then u can cut and remove so many metal from the chasis...

but if u want handling and chasis strenght..better to do double stitching welds/spotwelds to prep the chasis..and add rollcage...offcourse u will increase the weight back..but not much....

Replace all the original window with the plastic one..

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

yep..remove all aircond assembly including compressors and its bracket,heat exchanger in front the radiator,cooling coil inside the dashboard and all the pipes including its filter-dryer...left only the blower working to keep a breeze blow when u stuck in traffic jams....

[^pomen_GTR^]

drags car usually use modified empty aircond gas tank as a replacement

Replace the battery with lithium-ion type. It it supposed to be the best weight reduction mod in term of cost-per-weight ratio.

Lithium-ion battery for car? How, where and price?

I add on more: replace the roof with aluminum type.
