Boxster weights

Sooo....AX season is almost finished and I'm already thinking of this winter's projects. One thing in particular that I've realized is that the Box sure does love losing weight to go faster. Currently my car (2000 986S) is around 2750. I'm not a Spec racer, but just for reference, what's the Spec minimum? What are some of the things Spec guys have done to pull weight out of the car?
The major things I've done:
Top and all it's stuff is gone
Spoiler is gone (I'm using Aerokit II lid and wing)
Carpet is gone in cabin and both trunks
Racing seats
Braille battery (absolute junk, it causes electrical issues)

what should be next???
