My goal is 100 lbs reduction with a spare tire out, so about 20 lbs more to go.

And I’m 5’6” and skinny, 124 lbs after 3-month Keto diet losing 14 lbs.

When you went with manual soft top, did you take the whole transmission out and if so, what did you do with the linkage to the clamshell to keep it tight in place? Does it still move along with the top in sequence?

Seats should have big impact but could be expensive unless I can find cheap core to work on. I want to keep Boxster red color scheme, maybe with houndstooth accent.
Corbeau does some good seat options that are not too outrageously priced. Might be worth a look...
