Cut rotational mass. Light wheels and tires, aluminum hat brakes, carbon or aluminum driveshaft, remove unnecessary drains on the motor like AC and power-steering (no prob with a FMR layout I hope, bloody workout with a Supra), light flywheel and clutch, light crank damper and pulleys, etc... Then unsprung weight, then any extra weight.
