Dump the heavy front seats for some nice racing buckets.
Remove all the sound deadening.
Cut the spare wheel well out and fit an alloy drop tank.
Leave the spare wheel and jack at home.
Replace the 2T with a 4AGE.
This should see you meeting your goal easily

so all that for 70KG? geeese  so i guess no chance of 800kg then eh?
has a 3T at the moment, just pickup up a 3S-GE with intake manifold and all sensors (no wiring or comp) for $180 - dunno if it's worth the trouble putting in that's why i'm looking at droping the weight for more go  ,

Ps. that barstard Ma70 wiper motor is driving me insane with the wiring, now the window washer's and the wiper dun work, did blow 1 fuse but replaced it, thinking the actual fuse box/holder is stuffed as wiring has been checked all the way to the switch, ha to joys of life...
