SonnyakaPig

Whoa! Super, I hadn't thought of the rear headrests. Great idea.

propain

Yup. So...


Battery 45lb saved.
Spare Tire about 40lb saved.
Headrests 4.5lb saved.
CF hood and trunk: 75lb's saved
Passenger Seat: 50lbs???
Lug nuts: (Please fill in if you know)
Skinnys: (please fill in if you know)
Smaller Rim size: (Please fill in if you know)


All adds up quite fast..

SonnyakaPig

Evosport rotors: 40 lbs

It does add up.

dodger63

Seats are 63lbs
Lug nuts I don't think u can save on those unless u don't use any..
Skinnies the best we could figure out is albs per side
Depends on the rim itself and the tire explain more maybe I can help!

dodger63

Huge huge it does add up

PetroC63

18" Forgestar's are about 7 to 8 lbs lighter than a stock wheel,
give or take a few ounces.

If you guys are doing that, you might as well just pull up the rear seat cushions. I'm sure they'll be another 20 pounds. They pull right up and snap right back in when done.

SonnyakaPig

What is the approximate weight of the car -- stock -- with say, 1/4 tank of gas, without driver?

Also, and this is a novice question, but outside of scales at a track, do you know of other types of places that offer scales for cars?

SonnyakaPig

Sounds real good. Thanks for the tip.

propain

I thought I read somewhere the Titanium ones saved 1lb per tire. That might have been for the whole setup though... they are cool though.

I just mean using a smaller rim like a 17 or 16.


63 nice...

Battery 45lb saved.
Spare Tire about 40lb saved.
Headrests 4.5lb saved.
CF hood and trunk: 75lb's saved
Passenger Seat: 63lbs
Rotors: 40lb's saved.
Rear seat cushions: 10lb's probably at most. Still good.

202lb's with the rotors...

Let Jon drive:

270lb's of weight savings...

SonnyakaPig

That's a great list, but I think it's more than 202 lbs. I don't know, maybe my math isn't great today.

I am Jeff

The rear seat cushions are definitely more than 10 pounds. I know cuz I ripped them up rear interior of the C to do a camera install on the old car. 20+ is more accurate.

propain

Your right.. 277 on my recount.. Dont know how I got 202 the first time..

So a big 347lb's saved if you let Jon drive! Thats huge...

GHAZAN

will any of these changes fail tech inspection at strip or track?

dodger63

Drag inspection no

dodger63

Depends on the wheel if you get 17" say volks u prob save 7lbs per wheel and tires also vary in weight but not much maybe 2-5lbs

dodger63

Problem with letting jon drive is he will save thee average guy, some weight but he can't drive so....

SonnyakaPig

LOL!

Heck, I've lost weight in the last few months -- 20 lbs. So, that should help.

dodger63

Every 100lbs equates to .10 in the 1/4 for our cars.. Maybe a bit more in rotational mass like double or so.. So drop 100lbs in rotational mass pick up .20 don't no if u can but

SonnyakaPig

I will only be dropping 40 lbs in rotational mass from the rotors. I don't think I'll get wheels.

But, I will have the hood and eventually the battery, plus all the other free weight reduction mods.

Total diet should yield 230+ lbs reduction.

mthis

You guys are getting really technical huh lol
My car will be on a very tight diet for MIR about 300lbs less then stock and all without CF parts

Badblackfolife

great deal!

SonnyakaPig

That's very impressive.

I'm rooting for you to hit 10's.

dodger63

Me to... Sorry my car before diet at all other then spare removal with me in it was 4150 and I weight 225 at that time so about 3925
