Lightweight Cerbera?

Lightweight Cerbera?
As you may or may not know I’ve decided to keep the cerbera. I intend to run it for a couple or three years after which I suspect it will not be worth a huge amount of cash.
I was therefore considering the option of keeping it longer term, buying another interesting car to replace it and using it as a pure fun car, maybe do the odd track day etc, etc.
If I did this I would take steps to reduce the cars weight, obvious things being chucking away the interior, seats, stereo, air con, heater, air con, sound proofing etc, etc. Replacing some of it with very light substitutes such as the drivers seat.
Currently the car weights in at 1100kg, what do we think I could realistically get it down to? Would it make a difference?

sounds like a great plan .. the seats and wheels / tyres are very heavy so they should go first. there's to much electrics in the car too .. simple pull cords for the doors etc would be fine. Often bonnets and doors are very heavy so carbon versions there. a bit of perspex and away you go
