Bob. :)
I have corbeau RRS seats ordered already from Maximal. Those weigh 26 pounds a piece plus brackets. So if the brackets are 7 pounds each, that's 66 pounds worth of seat. I was going to weigh my stock seats, but assuming they really are 112 pounds that is 56 pounds of savings. I still need to remove my ecs computer, and the abs computer. Maybe 4 pounds there. My corner sub box and mdf floor is still in the car. I can remove it easily but then my meth tank wouldn't be supported at all. I want to make something for the track. That would be maybe 40 pounds more savings.
I still have the front bumper beam side pieces on my car. The aluminum bar is gone but the sides are pretty heavy. Maybe 10 more pounds there. And I'd buy a cianci carbon fiber sunroof and hood right now if someone could guarantee me fitment. Even the early versions of the hood people had rubbing problems on the strut towers. I don't want to chance it just yet. If someone buys the moda r6 wheels I have for sale then I may gamble with the cianci stuff.
It's really hard to make a car light and not feel gutted. I definitely will never lose the a/c or power steering.
These are what the corbeau's will look like, only I'm using my stock seat belts.

ECS computer is ounces, ABS computer not more than a pound (plastic housing with a circuit board in it)
Hood fitment guarantee? LOL
Good luck Charlie :)
Bob.
My seats weigh in at 25lbs each..plus brackets. Please keep me posted on your quest to remove weight...Once I iron out my translator issues I will attack the weight scale viciously to shed the last bit of weight from my car. I'm hoping to hit the scale again before winter hits.Quote:

just got the corbeu bucket seat and it's way too narrow across shoulders.
And I ordered the XL version. Waist could be tighter, shoulder needs to be broader.
These seats are made for pear shaped people :p
Guess I should go to a store where I can try the seats before :) Way overpriced here compared to UK though.
precisely. it's almost where you'd want to buy only FG & have a custom shop add/shave material so it has a good fit.Quote:

I'm leaning more towards stock hood w/ expertly-cut vents or something. maybe go full ghetto & do deuce-coupe style louvers across the entire hood.
Installed:DQuote:

Whatever it is Eric, it needs more boost.
Don't recall that being the one you had on it last time I was that way. Vent it yet, or is that not much of an issue with the 4g63 arrangement?
