I already posted it. I removed mine a while back.


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Remove metal plate in the glove box cover - 3.0lbs / 0.00lbs</div>

 

just as a reference i went to the dump to get rid of my old tv and at the same time i got my car weighed (w/o driver)-...

2,500 lbs (-25 lbs for old tv) from a stock curb weight of 2,633 lbs

here's how i did it-...
removed-
back seats, rear seat belts, rear floor mats, spare tire, jack, spare tire cover, rear seat/hatch cover, hatch floor cover, stock front seats (replaced w/ cheap-o ebay seats), glove box weight, stock flywheel (replaced w/ findanza), stock pulleys (replaced w/ obx), IM brace, exhaust shroud under car, exhaust manifold (replaced w/ headers), liners under engine bay, fog inserts, grills (replaced w/ gutter gaurd), hood (replaced w/ CF), hood latch (replaced w/ hood pins), rims (replaced w/ 15lb oz from lancer, perfect fit!), spark plug cover, upper timing belt cover, cruise control, windshield washer fluid resiviour and motors (nozzels too), shift knob (replaced w/ lighter), shifter (replaced w/ short shifter), various un-neccessary brackets and hardware, antenna-.... may be missing a thing or 2

after reading the "why wheels are more than just tire holders" you'd understand that for every pound you lose off un-sprung rotational mass it's like losing 10 pounds off the chasis-...

and i read some where else that for every 10 lbs off your car-... it's better than 1HP

so with a little math i have the gained an equivelant to around 20HP.

there are still a few items on the list that i am considering to further lighten my car-...

i should also mention that my car isn't as quiet as it used to be-... but slightly better on gas, quicker acceleration, and shorter stopping distances!

i hope this was useful!

 

The dash with brackets, ducting, bolts, unnessicary wiring, fan, motor, radio, passanger side blow up doll, and sound absorbant materials.
72lbs.

 

^^ Passenger side blow up doll?

 

a blow up doll wouldn't weigh that much...just blow it up and stick it in the passenger's seat...

 

how much does that airbag weigh? does anybody know?

 

The passenger airbag is about 6-10 lbs, driver is 5-7 I would say.

 

Coal_forge...

you probably have one of the most stripped out tibs on this site that i have witnessed. would you know by chance the weight of your car with 1/2 tank of gas?

I read somewheres one time that is how they weigh the curb weight of a car, with only 1/2 tank. could be wrong, its been awhile but i your is like a feather.

throw some montegi trak-lites on there and you would drop i think 28 lbs. of rolling inertia compared to oem stock wheels.

 

The driver's side airbag and stock steering wheel are actually quite heavy. I took both out in favor of a lighter Momo steering wheel.

 

Removing an airbag in an airbag equipped car is illegal is it not? Or is that just a scare tactic or just plain BS?
