Post Up your Light-weight Evo!
i know but right now my budget dont let me to spend 4000+ for that. I'm still need to spend money in coilovers power etc. So that is why i need to take out stuff. So a nice list would be great i might missed something or "did it a not that claver way."
I know the full carbon body would be nice . But that is why i said reasonable list. Did not exceed an avarage guys budget.

I took out rear seats, radio, speakers, amp. Replaced drivers seat and rails with Sparco Evo/Sparco mounting bracket. Next thing is AC, 4.5lb battery, radiator replacing with CBRD slim rad. Also have Advan RG2s 17x9.5 on 255s, and Greddy Ti with Aspec Ti testpipe.
I put in an Autopower rollbar however, but can't ignore the safety. My car is a GSR so I have damn sunroof that I can't do anything about.
This month Robispec is coming to NJ. Going to do corner weighting so will see how much it weights. Last year fully loaded, car was at 3260lb or so..
Will see what else I can remove

can someone estimate howmuch a 06 mr would weigh with all of the following......br tbe, mini battery, trunk gutted, rear seats tooken out, carpet and sound deading material tooken out, rear doors gutted. all stereo out, ac removed, sparco corsa's and personal steering wheel. Can anyone estimate that ?
PIcked up 50whp and 100 ft tq:0Thanks for the props. I will definitely be getting lighter over the next few weeks.
yeah, dry ice can be used to ease removal of those asphalt panels stuck to the floor of the car, and the driveline tunnel. Don't search here, use google, I saw a great how-to on a Honda forum. I used 40# of dry ice pellets for cost of $30. took about 2 hours start to finish, but i already had removed all the carpet and insulation. Just spread the ice generously over the sections to be removed, wait about 10 mins, then whack it with a hammer or mallet, and lift up the chunks. I had some panels come off in 3 big pieces. THen i cleaned up with solvent. easy!
bonus, after i was done, i still had about 30# of dry ice left. (i re-used it several times) so i made a few plastic bottle bombs for fun, and filled my cooler for the beach a few days later. Actually froze my sodas. Wow!

The stock midpipe didn't seem to weigh much more than a comparable aftermarket one, but the rear can was HEAVY. Also, the cat, O2 housing, and downpipe seemd MUCH heavier than the afermarket parts.
Started with an RS ,05.
Greddy Ti exhaust
Tilton clutch super light and flywheel
Ti strut bar
Buschur mustache bar
Buschur front support bar
lightweight brake rotors
lightweight volk RE-30 wheels 17'
Carbon fiber Driveshaft
Mini battery
Carbon Fiber doors F/R
Carbon fiber trunk
NRG lightweight seats
removed complete A/C system
Removed complete carpet
removed rear seat
removed evap system
removed front and rear crash beams
removed rear seatbelts
removed misc brackets under dash
removed misc brackets in engine bay
removed complete ACD system pump/lines/computer transfercase replaced with shepard racing transfercase.
replaced all bushings to poly F/R
apexi coilover suspension
replaced brake hoses and pads
Buschur race block/=no balance shafts inside
replaced hood with carbonfiber one is 1.4 pounds heaver than stock.
Current weight 2620 lbs.
Probably the lightest street driven evo period.

I see the sound deadening on floor in front is it anywhere else because on the RS I don't see it anywhere but under the foot pedal's and passenger front??
