just wondering how to get weight out of a fox....only thing im gonna need to keep is ac and power steering

ofcourse the obvious:
jack/spare
stereo/speakers
rear seat
sound deadener
lightweight racing seats

getting serious:
lexan windows
fiberglass hood/hatch
removal of unnecesary interior panels
window motor/mechanisms
dumps
draglites/skinnies
aluminum heads
lightweight fuel cell

what are some of the things i overlooked...im not really concerned about creature comforts
