I don't see how replacing it with anything can save 18#. I think that item should be removed until you can verify it, I suspect JPR EWP will save 3-4#s over stock.

Also I think the carpet/insulation comes in closer to 30# than 40#, can anyone verify?

Also how about adding skinnies to the list?</strong><hr></blockquote>

I have weighed my carpet several times, on several scales... Not easy to do just from the size, but we have never got a weight under 40 lbs.

One day I'll get motivated, and carry it to a local metal shop that has a huge flat digital metal scale.

how big is the carpet folded up? a vet should have a flat scale about 4+ feet x 2.5 feet.

Great post colonel! I will do a few deductions, like less washer fliud, less fuel, rear seat and seat belts, spare tire and jack, lighter battery, but nothing looks worse than a stripped out car(recovered theft).

when i weighed my carpet several years ago and got 34 pounds on my scale.

Weighed the ABS module and bracket last night. Came in at 9 lbs. Not as much weight savings as I was hoping for but opened up the the engine bay quite a bit.

anybody weigh their stock manifolds compared to headers?

what's the difference between stock rims and a set of pro stars, i was guessing 60 lbs TOTAL for all four. that sound right?

how much does a loudmouth weigh compared to stock? i'm just trying to get an idea for my list.

In the older day's they use to swiss cheese the chassis (Punch out holes of steel shims to save weight) and it would still have the strength just lighter..

In the older days the cars had full frames too. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

how much weight is the sound deadening alone? might look a little too nascar for me with no carpet.

good post

Found a place that sells titanium bolts and nuts-Yoyodyne Titanium. Still looking for the aluminium stuff.

Colonel

Cool, thanks! Got a phone number or website?

I just added up my weight reduction plans for 2002 and they should bring my race weight down to about 2875. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

973-401-1954 is the phone, renzf@yoyodyneti.com is the web-site. The prices are high, but you would only use this stuff on critical areas. I'm trying to find the place that had the aluminiun bolts, they were a crapload cheaper and would work fine on the majority of applications.

Colonel

WHOOOoooooooooowh!!! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> That stuff is way expensive! Not a cost exfective way to loose weight.

We better find the aluminum stuff. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
