Here goes:
Seats( especially the drivers seat ) are pretty heavy. Install some Sparco Evos or similar product.
Get a dry-cell battery they only weigh ~15lbs.
Could replace the windows with lexan... some companies make a hatch peice for the Rx7 which is one peice plastic but I haven't seen any for the Z.
Remove A/C, stereo, or anything beginning with the word 'power'
There is a rear resivoir in the back that you don't
really
need.
Custom fabricate T-Top covers with carbon fiber instead of glass
Lightened flywheel, ud pulley, driveshaft( big gain here cause they are rotating )
Titanium exhaust
Remember it is a V6 so you aren't going to get down to civic weights
Carbon fiber hood weighs more then stock
keep factory wheels they are light
