I removed the washer fluid reservoir for a couple of pounds saved. I hadn't used my windshield washers the entire time that I owned the car, so it wasnt too big of a deal 
it was a free mod.

Actually, it sounds AWSOME, but too bothersome after a while. I recommend it for the track, since it sounds so nice and Dyno proven to give you at least 5whp. There is a dyno here in SL of an unbolted Exhaust. Is no Nascar, but sounds niceeee.

Even on a completely stock TC you can strip out over 100lbs from the things I mentioned, and if you run half your windshield washer fluid and a half a tank of gas all the time, you'll cut out another 50lbs.
For $100 you can replace your gigantic stock battery for a better performing all around, smaller lighter battery and save another 25lbs. So any stock TC can weigh just over 2700lbs for about $100.
