on a serious note, do you have a wrx or sti??

the sti bonnet is a lot lighter than the wrx one, but other than that your down to removing interior really

I expect it increased the value of it substantially too

Remove spare wheel, Tool kit, swap wheels for lighter ones, remove sound deadening, smaller fuel tank, remove lower U frame(crash protection), then it gets serious if you want to get any lighter

Or sell it and buy a Spec-C

To the OP though, if you are considering light weight doors and bonnet/boot, you might want to speak to ABW Design.

I wanna reduce the weight to
a) increase the power to weight ratio
b) increase fuel economy
c) improve handling

Here is a write up by a mate over on sidc that might give you some ideas.

Removing the seats and fitting some after market ones can save a fair bit.

Interior stuff, remove air con, smaller battery, empty boot of everything (inc spare wheel, tools, jack and carpet), lightweight wheels as mentioned.
