There is a mod i did for a Car on the Glove compartment , ill try to get a pic and upload it

 

I just ordered some Fiberglass headlight replacements today, they weigh 1 lb 5 oz each. I need to weigh my stock IX HID headlights. Anyone know the weight?


I also did a lexan front windshield this last month. My guess is it saved about 12-15lbs

^^^I like your car more & more everytime you post pics of it...I would love to take it around a track once!! Looking good man!

 

Here is a few things that I have recently done,
a carbon plate to delete the airbag and retain the stock steering wheel


a carbon plate to cover the holes for the AC that goes through the firewall


Replacement of upper and lower radiator hoses to -16 AN prolite hoses, which saved some ounces over the stock silicone and tbolts




Power steering line HP side was changed to prolite hose, and the LP side was bent up into -6 AN aluminum line

 

Keep a close eye on the powersteering lines. I've seen another Evo that did that have problem after problem in a road race type application with the off the shelf type AN lines. The eventually went to industrial strength hydraulic lines which solved the problem.

agreed, my high pressure side one needs to be changed to teflon lined hose with compression ferrules. This iteration was for proof of concept, as I ran the line under the motor mount ( High pressure side)

 

Looking good antilag! I always enjoy seeing little weight reduction things you do, they all add up! What does your car weigh now?

 

Thank you B.J, I am currently building a resevoir tank for the power steering ( It won't be anything as cool as the stuff Toxic fab produces), so I will post that up when I am finished.

the last time I weight it on a scale it was 3120 with me (162) in it ( 18s, baby seat, half tank of gas, and an exedy flywheel)- so still pretty heavy.

 

Collin just re-did all of his PS lines & he is about to build a PS res/tank as well. Not sure if it will be a production item or not, as a lot of the stuff he is doing for his build are one off custom pieces. Sounds like our cars are similar in weight. My car is an MR & once I do my 5 spd swap & throw in my Non-ACD T-case , I am guessing my car will be slightly under 3000lbs without me. I still have AC, full stereo, full interior, power everything, etc.

 

So many ideas in this thread. My goal is to hit 2800...with a full cage.

 

my car is 2780 with a cage, sunroof, HIDS, brembo brakes, full interior, upgraded stereo, power windows/door locks, and so on.

this winter i have a list and goal to make the car look exactly how it does, still have all of the above and will weigh 2680. thats a bad *** street car. i cant wait to get started

 

2780. My mind is blown. I can only dream of my car weighing being that light.

 

Do you have a build thread, where you cover the weight mods you've done? I have read the countless pages here, but seeing exactly what you did would be VERY helpful to me.

I want to achieve similar results, keeping interior looking normal and such. Though, at this point powersteering, a/c, and ABS are all still going to be staying.

 

no i do not. most of it is in this thread and what is not in this thread i keep to my self.

 

are those fender mounting allen bolts and washers from a kit or did you put it together yourself.
