Drain your windshield washer fluid and always drive with less than 1/2 tank of gas.

 

xtremboost lite weight exhaust

xtremeboost rear crash bar

, that alone saves you like 60lbs

 

No it's not. I believe the VW R32 did not come with a spare, and some other cars.

 

 

miata battery

 

Also, do you have a GSR or an MR, because just switching to the MR rotors will lose you weight due to their two piece design.

 

If you're in a race team, you wouldn't even be asking this question, but if you want 'pret a porter' shopping if you're going 'all out':

- Drain washer fluid
- Remove spare tire and jacks, and any personal junk in the car
- Remove crash beams
- Remove A/C, ducts, radio, speakers and all unecessary wirings
- Remove AYC and hardware, run a JDM X RS set up (easily 120lbs off)
- Remove panels, dash, sound deadening, rear seat, front passenger seat, trunk linings
- Remove exhaust, custom pipe it after turbo to a fender
- Remove headlights and tailights, run a custom panel

Here's the expensive bits:
- CF roof and lexan glasses probably the best place to spend big on
- Replace driver seat with Sparco S-Light or Recaro Profi SPA (8-9lbs without brackets n mounts) + harness
- Voltphreaks 3-4lbs battery
- Volk CE28N, 2pc rotors, high end suspension such as Ohlins

You'd still need to invest on engine, fuel and cooling mods, as well as sequential dog box, roll cage, fuel cell, dry sump system and slicks to complete

After that if you still have money left over, you can look into dry carbon panels, it seems to be custom by enquiry at least so far.

 

Thats Funny.
Thats for like all those fat people who want weight reduction on there car. Makes no sense when you alone can make the body drag ha ha.

 

i agree most of it, but i wouldnt spend money on CF roof since our's is aluminum.
the exhaust i think if its not drag race still needs to be going to a rear bumper or at least behind the front wheels.

Also this list is for only race cars for basically not limited class. Now who has the money to run there ?

So i think we need a list for Tuner class or modified, nothing above.
If you get there then already know how you want to provceed from there.

 

funny how the provided link goes to a picture of this guy unzipping his pants....jk... nothing personal youkinda set yourself up on that one......I had to

 

^^ Hey man I didn't post that, but I sure as hell would be happy with a "3 POUND" Battery. Remember it says POUNDS!!

 

my dads SRT8 Jeep didnt come with one

and im kinda thinking about taking it out but then again what if i run over a nail or something i dont want to be stuck somewhere waiting for someone to have to come get me

 

I say don't date any fat chick. You'll save tons of weight there.

 

A friend of mine bought a new Focus a couple of years back and it came with a can of fix-a-flat.

 

The EVO X isn't light, esp. the MR:


Initial weighing of our 2008 EVO X MR. This is with a completely full tank of fuel but the spare + jack removed. The Subwoofer can be removed for -16.4 pounds, and another ~75 pounds of fuel would be removed for autocross use, so that makes race weight ~3520 pounds.


Weight for EVO X GSR with full tank of fuel. Lose 75 pounds for race fuel load (autocross use) to get to around 3450 pounds

For race use, all of this needs to come out:



Stock wheels are heavy, even the "lighter" EVO X wheel.


Factory EVO MR 18x8.5" wheel and 245mm Advan tire, 46.8 pounds. Wheel alone is over 21 pounds.


Factory GSR wheel and tire = 48.2 pounds

Of course buy an aftermarket downpipe and such, but you can lose even more if you have a lightweight after-cat exhaust built (with thin wall 3" tubing):


This set-up went from 45.1 pounds to 23.8 pounds. We're making another iteration that will have a removable rear muffler section to lose 10 more pounds (it was way too quiet).

Bye bye fogs!


3 pound drop, but more importantly it unblocks coolers on both sides

A well made set of coilovers is always a weight savings, some of which is unsprung weight:
