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.

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

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...
