every bit helps. 2% here, 1% there, 3% and so on.
You could take molds of your side and rear windows pretty easily and drape form plastic ones and save more weight. After you have the molds you could sell window replacements to others and more than recoup your investment in materials.
Buy some underdrive pulleys for the motor. replace halogen headlamps with HID bulbs and LEDs for the other bulbs.
Remove the alternator and buy a solar charger (or 2) that plugs into the OBD port. Replace all fluids with synth ones. Replace engine driven fan with electric one. remove AC
Seems like you are pretty serious about this if you are driving around in a 1 seater. The window mod seems right up your alley.
I prefer motorcycles myself, but I am planning a project car this spring with the goal of 85mpg avg without sacrificing performance.
