Please only post if you have weighed out a certain stock Evo part. I am going to compile a list of the stock weights for anything I can from the Evo. Dont post anything that has already been posted before, thanks.

 

get carbon fiber doors hood trunk and fenders and paint them...

 

i have an evo 8 rs the manual says it weights 2915lbs but without the accesories that are A/C electric mirrors and windows so i ordered it with this things i took my car to weight it and with half a tank of fuel it weighted 3004lbs!! you could change the front seats to carbon fiber seats also you can change the hood and the trunk and you can change the rims remeber that 5 pounds of rotational weight you multiply it by the factor #8 and the result is what you would take of as static weight!!
so for each wheel you loose 5lbsx4wheels=20lbsx8=160lbs of static weight!!

 

Well you dont want to rip out everything in your car you say, and you dont want to spend money on lighter replacement components, .... its not going to magically get lighter, catch my drift?

 

Well it magically lost around 100lbs. Thanks for the good input moron.

 

The type of things I am looking for is the door crash beams... how much do they weigh?

 

oops

 

Where do you guys weight your car anyways?

 

LOL!

I am going through a similar process as you except i am ditching the ac. I would definetly get rid of stock rims and go with lighter ones, lighter brake rotors, I personally have 2 piece baer eradi speed slotted front and rear and they are much lighter than stock, if you wanna spend some cash go with a varis carbon trunk around 9lbs w/o wing, lighter seats wich were mentioned will also save weight. Also, Buschur has a weight chart on there site just in case you haven't seen it yet. Good luck!

 

This show what parts to remove and how much they weigh

do you also need the car to pass emmissions?

 

I read thier stuff which was nice... I just wish it had more of the small stuff or other stuff that could be tossed. Like the door beams is something I am really curious about. Or the fuel tank dry weight compared to a cell. The actual weights for the seats. Things like that. When I start shelling out cash to make it lighter I want to know the price per pound The only weigh I can guess the weight savings is by asking my mitsu dealer what the shipping weight of each item is Obviously it wont work for things like the crash beams.

 

I hear ya about spending the cash, it can get expensive. The best weight loss is a drivers diet, it's free and healthy, I have lost 52lbs since the summer and still going!

 

remove the crash beams? tsk tsk...lets save a few pounds to risk a life which u could easily lose in a crash without those. Not worth it whatsoever. You don't need em now, but when the day comes you'll def need em. Safety items aren't there for u to need for daily driving, they're there to save you when the unthinkable happens

 

No, I already tossed the whole emisions crap. The charcoal thingy box/Evap canister, the EGR, etc...
