Where will you reduce your weight? I think... the only good solution is to reduce the weight on the Front axle... but there are not many parts to change, or? What can buyed in "light"? Lights? Brakes?...

Aluminium brake calipers, lightweight wheels, cut out the spare wheel well and replace with aluminium or plastic sheet, small race wing mirror, cut off all excess bolt threads, single-box side-exit exhaust system, small race battery, small alternator, then its fibreglass panels time (door skins, front wings, roof skin, tailgate).
the only limit is the cost of the parts
