    Weighed my car today...

    It's been a while since I last weighed my car so many new mods and many parts removed. I pull on the scale basically running on fumes and it weighed in at 3380lbs! Fueled up (just under 20 gallons of fuel) and reweighed at 3500lbs!! Both of these are without me in the car. Super stoked to see the weight as low as it was.

    Weight reduction mods:
    -Wed Sport TC005 18x9 w/ 265 tires
    -fiberglass hood
    -1pc CFDS
    -Braille 15lb battery
    -IPS single shot
    -Megan coilovers
    -front and rear solid motor mounts
    -gutted precats
    -removed tow hooks and other various brackets
    -removed front & rear bumpers (the metal not the plastic covers)
    -removed spare and jack

    Added:
    -Infinity Basslink sub (20lbs)
    -Maximal Tcase bracket

    Other things I forgot to list:
    -Switched to non-power antenna
    -Emissions removed
    -Vac reduction.
    -Active exhaust motor removed
    -ECS computer removed
    -Maximal rear control arm




    Any other things you guys think I could do to lighten it up more (without it starting to look gutted and uncomfortable)? Seats are on my to do list, just gotta find some that I like and save up the funds.

    Also just wondering how to compare my car's weight against others...how much fuel do most people weigh their cars with? What about manufacturer weights, those are normally dry weight right?
