Where did you get that scale from?

 

You can get a nice gram scale at the post office, 39.99, reads in ounces too, been using one for years on my bike parts.

 

Thanks yo!

 

he got it from http://www.amazon.com/Weighmax-2822-...d_rhf_sc_p_t_1

 

Yep I got it from Amazon like Tom posted for 26 Shipped. It's awesome.

Just took my dash bar out as well. I'll be cutting mine tomorrow after work.

Chris and Dan please post more pics once you guys are done

 

Stage 1 is done on my dash bar. She is down to 15.8 lbs now with just removing the big un-needed brackets. I haven't touched the side brackets yet. With what I am planning I should be able to get another 3-4 lbs out of it. 12 lbs is the new goal LOL.

 

Nice man! I can't wait to get started on mine tomorrow.

I'll be happy to get 6-7 lbs out of it.

 

i took the heater box out.

i took it apart and took out what i do not need. i took out 3lbs. not bad. thanks for the advice.

 

edit: nvm. im going to take mine out as well. good idea to the guy up above who mentioned it.

 

see the #4. you need to remove that plastic part.

then #8 comes out. also remove the white padding crap inside that same cubby.

also the little wiring harness. there is 2 sensors connected to that core #8. i just de pinned them wires and i am left with this.



i think what i de pinned was all AC crap anyways. my guess is this part is to power the blower motor and such. so id reuse it.

 

Well I'm a fail haha. I can't do what I wanted really. I got my dash bar down to 14 lbs right now. I am probably gonna call it quits and will be happy with 6.8 lbs removed. There are two brackets I might be able to remove once it is bolted into the car. I didn't want to remove anything that would make the dash wobble around. So we'll see I guess. I'll try and post some pics up later.

 

post up some pics. im sure you can get more off. i reached my goal of 8lbs today. and its still 100% functional. i didnt remove any tabs for the harness either.

 

Pics please, I'm yanking mine out this weekend.

 

You first haha. I did a quick spray paint job on mine (black paint). Hopefully painting it wasn't a bad idea and as long as I sand the paint off where I place grounds it should be ok. Now I'm all worried haha.

I can't see where you came up with 8 lbs Dan?? I even put a few small "speed" holes in mine to cut some weight.

 

I'll get some pics up soon. I got crazy with it. My bar weighs 12.8 lbs.

Painting the bar is a good idea just make sure you have bare metal where your grounds are.
