looks good, dang i didn't know the spare tire and bolts weighed that much.
i like it when i see an after market part that adds power and loses weight.

Well realistically hes not taking all that weight off since parts do have to be put back on. Shaves a few pounds here and there

Ahh.. just cross-referenced stock/aftermarket parts. You're right. They're still shaving close to 150Lbs though I think. Not too shabby.

Can't count the FMIC and IC Pipe as there was no weight given for there replacements so it works out to around 114lbs saved.

BCNeil

Any ballpark figures, for the weight of the BR FMIC?

The savings is much smaller than you guys are coming up with. The aftermarket parts have to be subtracted from the stock parts.

exactly my point

Very informative post, thank you I still get about 109lbs even adding your parts back in, minus whatever your intercooler weighs.

This is going to be a tough car to get very light without cutting it up. It really needs some weight taken out of it.

Our FMIC core is going to be heavy. I am using a large core in the car and should have it in there next week.
