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

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)

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.

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

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.

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.
