Mellon, I've used speaker box carpet and glued it to the floor. Turned out pretty well initially and weighs probably under 2 pounds. I saw initially simply because the glue hasn't held up very well.

I used 3M spray adhesive and it doesn't stick all that well. Needs something with a little more volume and holding power.

 

I started to go this route but the factory carpet was only 9lbs once I removed the metal/wood/foam underneath it. I can live with that to have it looking like factory.

 

More info on battery (where I can find, size in relation to the odyssey, etc), please! I currently have the odyssey pc680, but I think it may be on its way out soon.

Thanks!

 

Actually, the majority of the weight in the carpet in the car is the insulation/metal plates and cardboard on the back of it. The actual carpet itself weighs nearly nothing.

 

Dont waste your money, buy another odyssey. Amazon has them for like 115, and free shipping if you have amazon prime. I had the CSB battery and it made it exactly 1 year for me. I am now running the odssey battery.

 

I'm using an DEKA EXT12 battery in my Daily driver. 9 pounds and $70.

It's been good so far in the summer, probably wouldn't trust it in the winter.

 

I use this 11 # Braille in my DSM...Best battery Ive used to date.

I have the same battery in my evo & as I've said before it's been a great battery. Only time I had an issue is when it sat for a month+ without being started...

 

A little different I know but hey it still counts in my books. I have been in the market for a new pair of shoes to wear when I go racing. I just got back from NYC and was able to try on a bunch of different brands. My brother in law bought a pair of the Adidas Adizeros and they are light but I didn't like how they felt. His weigh in at 8.2 oz each and are size 11.

After a little searching around I came accross these!



These are size 10 (normally I wear a 10.5 or so). I was a little torn on buying Sketchers but OMG were these nice!

An average shoe weighs at least twice the amount of this one. Together both shoes are well under a pound.

 

KSport rally gravel spec. coilovers: Front 33lbs
OEM: 43lbs

KSport: Rear 19lbs
OEM: 22lbs

 

I'm on page 21 now. This weekend I removed 9 lbs of free weight. And I've ordered the Shorai Lithium battery, lightweight front ARB, and an aluminum driveshaft. looking at the carbon hook that Robi sells @ 5-6 lbs.... as well as a decent carbon trunk @ 6lbs... CNC E-brake....and the Hotchkis rear ARB. I hope to be hammering through the dash here shortly, and the wiring may happen sooner than I wanted. Thank you all for the advice and help.

 

Going to town!!

 

good luck man. sounds like a nice project.

 

Got bored today after work and decided to see what I could find to remove from the back seat area.

Center console ashtray removed and replaced with a carbon piece I made real quickly. Saved about 6 ounces, took 5 minutes.





Then started messing with the rear deck/parcel shelf/whatever you care to call the area above the back seats. Removed the hooks for the child seats and the seat belt mechanisms (removed the lower clip ins awhile ago so the upper parts have just been tucked behind my seats). Made some carbon pieces to fill the holes left. Also removed the padding and rubber pad underneath. Rubber pad weighed over two pounds if I remember correctly.




I'm going to try to keep better track of weight reduction I do, and posting pictures and what not for reference (removed about 15 pounds of unneeded stuff from the bay the other day but forgot to take pics or weights)


Just for fun

 

let me guess... you two daily driver's and your race car? haha
