I would like to start cutting weight of the X but was wondering what are some of the major and minor things I can take out to lose it. So far I only took our the spare tire which I read somewhere was about ~40lbs. I don't want to lose anything essential though like rear seats though..

 

Small Battery from AMS.
New Exhaust from AMS/ETS/Buscher/etc (I am pretty sure they all weigh less)
Spare Tire


I know Robi is working on some things to drop some weight as well.

 

cough sell it buy a 9

 

go on a diet!!

 

you can also use ultimate racings test pipe... its only 4 lbs... stock is 14 lbs... not much..but make power and lose weight! though if it were me id go with ams's test pipe... only because its dyno sheets to prove it makes power.

 

Im a skinny asian kid...I weigh like 129 LOL my body weight is JDM yo!

 

front seats to bucket seats, small battery ,empty trunk, coul overs, exhaust etc, airbags , seat belt to racing harness , wheels , brake rotors , etc , the possibility is virtually endless.

 

coul overs

Must be a new part that I am not aware of...

LOL,

How is your car running Robi

 

sprae tire= 40lb
AMS exhaust=25lb
light wheels= 20lb
Test pipe= 10lb
battery= 15lb

Thats 100lbs

Oh air bags= less 200lbs?

 

Drop the GF at the curb. Don't need all that excess baggage...

 

rear head rests - delete

 

that's pretty damn funny hahahaha

 

damn son... i guess a treadmill wouldn't help you out at all.

 

There are dyno gains posted for the ultimate racing test pipe as well...

I thought the light battery kit shaved closer to 25lbs instead of 15lbs anyone confirm this? Lighter rims are a great way to shed the lbs because its rotational mass so you should make more power to the ground as well as overall better performance. If your hardcore gut the interior, remove ac, remove air bags, remove passenger seat, remove radio...you get the picture.

For a daily driver I'd say just swap the rims/brakes, ditch the spare tire/jack/tools/trunk carpet/, light weight flywheel when they become available, full turbo back exhaust should save about 25-50lbs, and lightweight suspension pieces when they become available including coil overs. ~Trent
