Well, providing that you are using the Forenza as a rally car, you can take the panels out, you can use lexan instead of glass, you can get rid of the tire and jack and hook up with AAA, keep washer fluid to a minimal since it takes almost a complete gallon of liquid, lighter rims, lower profile tires, carbon fiber hood... carbon fiber anything... not that I have all of this on my car but thats what I did with my SC2... and to think a Plastic car couldnt get any lighter

I am not sure that lower profile tires will be a good thing if you are rallying your car.

As far as handling... probably not, but he was asking about weight reduction and a lower profile tire is lighter than your traditional tires...

Default 98 Accord 4cyl

My wife and I have a 98 accord 4cyl, she was driving the accord and I was in my Forenza both auto, we did like a 30 mph role she pulled ahead a little then once my car got moving I walked past her pretty quick, I had a 300+ lb friend in the pass seat and if you look at my sig you can see my trunk that is why she pulled ahead from the start.
