I’d start by converting your power top to a manual one (just pull the motor, gearbox and links), install a lighter battery, pull the sound deadening around the engine, and install lighter seats. You can get greatknock off GT3 seats online. Those three things could save around 150lbs.
TGH: are you talking about these seats?

Wow those look great. They’re a little different than the old GT3 seats I was referring to but I’m sure they’d work well for you.
