How about a lightweight battery, dumping the stereo stuff (previously mentioned), removing the back seat, welding the sunroof shut and removing the motor and drive mechanism, dump the ABS system, dump the AC. How far do you want to go???
As previously mentioned, this is not the car to turn in to a lightweight machine as it came fully equipped from the factory with a boatload of options and AWD.
The manual trans swap will cut 100 pounds. The wheels are relatively lightweight at 20 pounds each, so major savings will be difficult there. Also stay with 16" to save weight versus a larger diameter. Seats are probably heavier than 50 lbs each, especially the drivers with the motors. Stock hood weighs 48 pounds. Get a fiberglass or CF version.
