Oh, Had to re-install the rear seats and seat belts since the baby was born.
Haven't decided if I should remove the rear bumper or not.......

solid tranny mounts........not a good idea. any twisting in the car could potentially crack your tranny case

Here are some actual weights I got using a digital scale. It's pretty accurate; we use it at work to set product weights in our database. We're audited by UPS on a regular basis for shipment weight accuracy, so it's darn close.

Weight is in pounds of course. I grouped it by area because most seem to take off weight in "groups/areas" rather than indivdual pieces.

A/C

Condenser... 8.6
Compressor...15.0
Cannister...2.0
Hoses(all)...2.3
A/C bracket,
all bolts,
retainers...4.3
Canister bracket... .1

Total = 32.3-lbs


Rear Harch area

Spare tire... 28.0
Jack,retainers,
lug wrench,
cover ...10.7
Rear T-top flap... 4.2
Rear speaker panel...3.4

Total... 46.3-lbs.

Wheels/Tires

26x10.5x16 Et Streets on 16" chrome TA rims (1)
15 psi ...43.9

18x9.5 Chrome Y2K's w/Michelin Pilot 275/35/18 tires ... 52.1 (1) 35 psi

Weld Prostars w/ 26x11.5x16 Et Streets..coming soon.

Stock lugs(5)... .6
Chrome lugs(5)... .5


Miscellaneous

Front floor mat(1)... 1.7
Rear floor mat(1)... .7

Anybody removed their side bar? Almost 7 1/2# savings.


.

quickWS6

Is that the bar in the door?

Larry

iTrader: (4)

Yes

quickWS6

Is that 7.5 lbs per bar or for both?

Also, how did you get it out without cutting it?

Larry

iTrader: (4)

That's almost 7 1/2# per bar (including the bolts and spacer).

I only removed the passenger side bar. Didn't want to compromise safety by removing the drivers also. I almost never take a passenger.

To get it out I cut a hole slightly larger than the bar in the end door panel. The bar will slide right out (if you cut the hole in the right place). I covered it back up with aluminum tape and painted it black, the color of my car. Don't even notice it really.

I have a full weight car, auto, with a 400lb driver!!!!! I assume that puts my "race weight" in at aroung 3950lbs with some gas...is that about right?

I could shave a second off my car by doing all the weight reduction mods and having a 120 lb guy drive it for me.

I guess I will just add nitrous and not tear my car apart!!

You guys are way more hardcore than me!
