Well with no help from you guys I took my battery off because I don't use my radio that much. Took the guage cluster off because I can hear the exaust so I can shift. Didn't think I need the windshield because I always wanted a convertible. So with that said I can put an end to this thread and see how she runs!
Saved about 30lbs!

I kind feel obligated to give a legit answer... Obviously it is not really a good idea to take off the bumper bean (I think it's important) But umm, have you thought about taking out items such as the interior, stereo, center console, door cards, speakers, air conditioning?

If by "silly" you mean "badass", then yeah. As long as it is clean with no interior. If it is gutted and there is still crap everywhere then yeah that is silly.

Make your cabin airtight, then fill it with helium.
Or you can take your rear seats out, get lighter front seats. Remove stereo system, ac, swap steering wheel. Remove passenger seat and pass airpag. remove all trim pieces. Lightweight wheels, coilovers, and aluminum suspension pieces.
Get JDM bumper beans. They're lighter. Just some ideas off the top of my head.

stock seats are REALLY heavy....good excuse to upgrade to some cool SPARCOs or OMPs.
remove the random weights Subaru has bolted/welded onto the bottom of your chassis.
light weight flywheel
aluminum or CF driveshaft
lightweight battery
get rid of airbag stuff and get an aftermarket steering wheel.
strip off all the sound deadening (interior and exterior)
carpeting is over-rated.
rear seats? who needs rear seats...or rear seat belts, or all those bolts back there...
remove rear window motors.
