I went nuts years ago with neons and weighed so many things. Maybe it will give you some ideas on how much something may way or what you could remove.

Just about everything was weighed on a digital scale I use to ship things that's nearly identical to the weights of things I ship from UPS/Fedex/USPS. You may find that if you weigh something, other people's weights are way off.
Ah, another Neons.org member I did a lot of weight redux on my neon, like making my trunk a skin, crossmember removal under hood, gutted rear doors, etc. I think I got it down to... 2150 with full interior, if I recall? Edit: Found my old post! Link Here

Anywho, I'm doing the same thing you did with the Insight with a scale that's pretty accurate (checked with a 100g weight)... Link Here
Any time I pull something out, for good or not, I weigh it to try and keep a running tally of my total weight.
