weight IX project questions!

first I spent lots of time to find evo 6 TME and Evo 7,8,9 weights! ....

As I know, EVO6 TME = 1380kg , Evo 7,8,9 = 1470kg .

My target is = creating a Weightless IX. ( I'm not a track racer but I want to feel weight savings at my wheels like HP !!! )


I know amateur things for this thread... for example : if I pull up : air conditioner,

window automatics , center diff , ( think to install cusco 1.5 limited) .... and all stuff in the car like back seats ... etc....

anyone makes like this way ? and what's your cars kg ? I think I will save 100 kg ... but chancing the diff is more complex job I think !!! ...


please only proffesionals post opinion about this thread....

I think that its a rediculous idea as the cost to benefit ratio is horrible. If you're set on doing it, beyond what you mentioned; replace door and rear window glass with lexan, carbon fiber doors, mini battery, aftermarket coilovers, lighter wheels and tires, bumper beams from and rear, AMS carbon fiber roof, aluminum 1 piece driveshaft, light weight flywheel, light/underdriven pullies, ditch HID's if you have them, light one piece driver/passenger seat, etc.

Here is some good info for you. In the future don't be so lazy and search and find this stuff for yourself.

In this link you will find a picture of an excel file with weights and the actual excel file also.
