right now my car weighs 3190lb with me in it and 3/8 tank of gas. i have the front and rear crash beams eliminated, no cat back just a turn down dumping off stock down pipe, small battery, ac pump and condenser removed, and spare tire and jack removed. my goal is to get my still street driven car down to 3000lb with me in it and still retain a full stock looking interior and working windows. do you guys think this is possible and where can i get that much out without chopping up my interior and doors.

 

190lbs?

2 piece AL driveshaft
front motor mount cross member piece
rear diff mustache bar eliminator
two piece brake rotors
lighter wheels
lightweight clutch (quartermaster twin is 18lbs lighter then ACT or exedy twin)

do all that and you wont have to chop a single thing.

 

ok thanks for the input im going with the triple plate clutch tho. and i wasnt quite sure if only three motor mounts is gona be ok pushing 600whp to the ground on a mustang dyno i dont want to break drive train parts because of motor flex

 

the quartermaster twin is ultra strong. plenty strong for 600whp and still 18 or so lbs lighter then the exedy triple too.

the front motor mount crossmember i'm talking about is a buschur racing part. cuts about 7lbs off the car, and makes the front motor mount a solid one.

 

oh ok sorry little miss understanding with the motor mount i come from the dsm community and i have seen a couple cars done without that cross member at all and just put a solid rear mount in. thanks again

 

KevinD, I think the quartermaster twin can be ordered in 3 stages to handle up to 750ft/lbs of tq?

 

i would love to get my car under 3000lbs! how much does the ac condenser and parts weight?

 

aprox. 25- 30lbs

 

Lots of wrong scales (or tall tales) going on in here...

 

18 lbs is a ton for a clutch, holy crap, didn't know that...Currently I am rocking an ACT 6 puck & fidanza flywheel...I've been looking into the QM when I do my 5 spd swap...Good to know...

 

Great thread

 

My car still has full interior, AC, PS, etc...Once I do my 5 spd swap & delete all my ACD crap my "race weight" (1/4 tank of gas, no spare tire, tools, etc) without me in the car should be at or under 3000lbs...I've removed a lot of random crap without having to touch the AC...

No spoiler
98% of the tar sound deadener removed & some of the mat behind the dash cut away
DC Sports Ti front & rear strut tower bars
BC coilovers
RPF1s & Hankook tires (4 lbs lighter each then my stock BBS rims & Nitto tires)
Girodisc 2 piece rotors all around
Fortune Auto Ti Lug Nuts
NRG Front seats with BR lowering brackets & no sliders
Rear wiper delete
PS Cooler tube delete
Custom Mini Battery tray with Brallie Battery
Minor wire tuck done & a lot of misc. brackets & whatnot removed from engine bay
Torque Solutions Trans & Passenger side mounts
AWD Motorsports 2 piece driveshaft
BR side rear diff supports with poly bushings
Kamispeed Driveshaft solid bushings
Non-ACD T-case installed & ALL ACD stuff removed
Front & Rear crash beams removed
All EGR crap removed including hardline
Rear 02 sensor deleted
Driveshaft tunnel heat shield removed
Lighter clutch maybe QM 8 leg??


I think that is it...might be some more stuff but that is all off the top of my head...

 

Worth at least .0001 sec. in the 1/4 mile:









All together now:

 

If it weighs more than air.................delete it!
