Post exact weights of weight reduction you have done!
Bump for a part request. I thought I saw on Instagram a shop make a billet bracket for the passenger side motor mount to replace the cast iron piece. I can’t seem to find it anymore. I remember the shop being in either Arizona or Nevada. Weight savings was like 5 pounds. Thank you.
If anyone is interested, Marsh Powerhouse Fab (MPH Fab in Ohio) is now making lightweight full carbon trunklid that are also structurally solid. Can run a fairly large wing safely. He’ll make them in any carbon type fabric corps or weave you want also. Weighs around 4-5# for full reinforced lid, but I’m sure he’s also do just a top skin for race car use that would be probably 2-3#
Probably thinking of Bulletproof https://www.bulletproofr.com/shop
Strong enough to support a trunk mount wing?

I recommend against it. I paid him up front for materials for a CF trunk well over a year ago. However, his supplier bailed on him, and he told me he'd refund my money last summer, but instead he disappeared, and will not return any of my calls or emails. If I lived in CA, I would have taken him to small claims court just for the principal of it, but it's simply not worth the plane ticket and hassle at this point. Dude is a total ***** and coward, but whatever.
From the dead! You’ll never believe this, but I randomly sent him another new paypal request maybe a handful of months ago to refund me, and I **** you not, he actually paid it. I’ve never seen or heard of someone totally shafting someone on a purchase like that, and then more than a year later actually refunding their money without being legally forced to do so. Let the buyer beware, but I have to say my beef with him is totally squashed.
I know this is old and dead dead, but any idea what page might have a more complete list of parts. I felt like there was one but i could be wrong. I am just trying to see if say any of the sway bar end links would be lighter then stock and how much you can save by switching to the STM or TRQ Solutions Rear lower control arms.?
I searched but also didn't feel like reading all 131 pages.

man my car keeps getting heavier and heavier. 18x11, 295s, evoX brakes, ETS IC, IE pan, bigger oil cooler, oil pressure lines/gauge, PVC system /catch can/hoses, SSB stuff... hard to justify shaving fractions of a pound here and there, and also getting a splitter. my wallet is lighter tho lol

FWIW i went from Evo 10 brakes to ap racing's (small) kit and the Evo 10 brakes were better (350mm vs 325). Enough that I'm getting these from the AP's (https://alconkits.com/products/parag...47388049539380)
brake weight is one place I'm not too bothered about. I'm not sure what else I can do to pull more weight from the front without losing air conditioning (must have). ACD & battery have been relocated to the trunk. balance shaft gone so that's one belt done away with.

I figured if im gonna get new wheels might as well try to replace some older parts and if i can shave a few pounds might as well.
