Add up the amount of weight reduction you feel you have done, and put it here. Curious to see who the top “weight savings” winners are. It doesn’t have to be exact, but try to be as close as you think it is.

I stripped the rear seats and rear interior out of the Accent along with the spare tire, jack, jack tool, etc. I think (pure guesstimate) that it probably shaved 150lbs of weight or so altogether.

stripes

Lighter tires and battery,and lost 20lbs.

I've had to replace some of the interior trim to pass inspection, but it will be coming straight back out again. Because racecar.

I took the back seat out of the Accent, surprised how much it weighed.



On my Gen Coupe I bet I've stripped at least 200 lbs. The getting rid of the OEM 19" wheels alone saved over 15 lbs apiece, removed the dual exhaust another 40 lbs, lightweight battery another 16 lbs. And every time I do some work I seem to have left over bolts and brackets that all add up.

That's 40 lbs at least dude.
