^^^Yea, I'm sure the motors in them are worth removing for weight.

 

do you even NEED side-view mirrors for drag racing? take them off...

 

Ok i got some desired weights today

First, i know jon will love me for this one, the stock solite battery weighs 36.4 lbs.

The stock wheels and tires weigh 36lbs, and my motegi's weigh 38, so i gain 2 pounds in exchange for better cornering and some sticky ass tires, worth it IMO

The Chromoly flywheel (had the tranny off today) weighs 10.2lbs, not 11.

I also removed the shifter counter weight on the tranny and the intake manifold support. They each weigh somewhere between a half a pound and a pound, including the bolts its more toward a pound a pop.

 

what motigi's do you have? my rims alone weigh 24.5 pounds a piece, with tires, they came out to 48.5 pounds a piece with the four lugz also on top of them

 

16" motegi FF7's, the rims themselves are 19lbs - one pound more than stock, and the tires must account for the other pound.

 

damn my motigi's are heavy piles then. (not that i didnt know)


now i stuck with have to choose between either buying a new set of lightweight 17's. or saying screw it, and getting my racing hart C5 18's ive allways wanted.

and surprisingly the one on the left weighs considerably less than the one on the right. smile.gif</div>

I forgot to add the weights with my previous post. For those interested;

the headers are 9.90lbs
and the downpipe is 4.63lbs

for a total of ~15lbs

as for stock, I do not know the weights...

 

stock steering wheel, clockspring, and airbag for steering wheel is.. 7.1 lbs..

aftermarket ebay steering wheel, with the hub is 3lbs almost exactly..

so 4.1lb difference just in the steering wheel/hub swap..

 

hmm, i just did my steering wheel swap and i got 7.6 lbs, and 3.6 for the aftermarket ebay one.

BUT that leaves the differance in weights about the same so who cares lol.

I wonder if a aftermarket catback like motoria is lighter than stock. The muffler should be lighter at least.
