Curious if anyone's weighed non essential wires and then sound detening? Still have that crap in my car and want to take out over the winter. Between door bars, stock exhaust and above, I'm hoping to drop 100lbs.

Was hoping to put lithium batter in, but you guys are scaring me now.

Currently my car is about 2575 empty no overweight driver ....

Currently doing a full interior strip. Seems like door glass/motors are quite a bit as well. I will weigh them later today.

Da New Yawka

Pair of windshield wiper arms with blades is just under 2lbs for both.
Just had them weighed. I was hoping for closer to 4lbs, lol

Oh well, looks cleaner without.

Yea I thought about removing those but I really, really like tracking the car in the wet. May just use rain-x or something...

whatset

MY00 at a recent corner balance - this shot is with 1/4 tank of fuel and without driver, coolshirt, splitter, flatbottom or diffuser though

How did you get your weight so low?

whatset

Tons.

Gutted A pillars, removed x brace, removed spare tire tub, gutted doors, removed soft top, you name it.

michaelnyden

What was the biggest loss of those if you can recall? x brace?

whatset

the x brace was big, and the stuff in the a pillars was heavy. those were also the two biggest PITA

but it all added up. exhaust, lights, fenders, AC etc. lots of little stuff
