There are other words that we could us for these types of people.. But we try to stay PG here of course.. The best way to keep the word from coming up is to stop acting the way some of these guys act? I dont like the word either but tell me another word that is good to use in this situation. Someone that call b/s on something.. That's not happy for another forum member that's trying to share the same enthusiasm and drive as most of the users here! It's pure jelousy if you ask me. So what we should do is start another thread trying to figure out a Better way that we could treat each other.. Instead of corrupting this one any futher. Loco put his heart and soul into what he did today. Hagi and I also have put in allot of time and money into this also. Lets just be happy and Strive more.

LOCO 05' E55

Tx bro, same with yours I got two runs on that thing, looked at it real quick and saw a 3.2 O-60

sighting

some remove the pasenger, and rear seats for substantial saving 15 min of work I was told

sighting

king of the CLK 63's you mean.. apples are not oranges.
dont get me wrong i love both, but they are not the same are they?

LOCO 05' E55

No need for the extra 60lbs +

15 minutes of work??

My seat has been sitting in my garage for two weeks now..helped me shave the 3 tenths i needed to hit 10s

sighting

15 min to remove the rear and front seats.
I should do mine this weekend and weight them. then again. it's calling for 3 day non stop rain

wont be surprised if there is +- 200 pounds in the rear (bottom / backs) and passenger combined

sighting

screw the weight savings, have you heard the sound the 63 makes with the rear seats down?

double savings

bassn_07

LOL....people will keep reaching.

Your 60' times improved dramatically along with much better weather, why is it so hard for people to accept this???? Everyone has the same opportunity to do what they want to get the best times out of the car. Some would rather reduce weight instead of spending a significant amount of money on mods for the same result, each their own. If and when the time is right I'm sure I would be more than willing to remove my seats.

Luis, you should get a race seat installed to really **** them off.....

dodger63

Could you/ would you repeat that part that everyone has the same opportunity do what they want.. For me it's not spending money well yea a bit but Im really trying to push the envolope of tune and header and airbox numbers.. When other performance parts come up I'll look at them and see if it's worth getting!! But as for the next 6 months I'm going to push these mods as far as I can smaller lighter wheels so on so fourth? What's more impressive dumping 50k worth of mods to run **.*** or doing it with the least amount of mods.. I'm torn.. Chime in people and help me with this

Luis...I won't crowd this thread with offtopic pics but you should definitely try stickin a bucket in your benzo. I saved around 40 pounds alone in the driver seat. Let me know if you want to see what it looks like.

Don't even waste your thought on the haters. Just smile and nod and let them whine about this and that. Just keep doing what yer doing!

bassn_07

Exactly! You guys have achieved better times without the need of spending 10's of thousands of dollars..... People just need to justify the money they wasted on their cars to only have it run slower. God forbid if someone spends less money and runs much faster.....

Do you guys get any CEL's when removing the passenger seat? Does it need to be cleared with a DAS? Thanks for the help.

dodger63

Passenger seat weighs 62# driver should be same 124#s I really really doubt the back seats are anymore then 30#s combined but I'll weight them tomorrow if I can figure out how to remove them.. I think we should be closer to 150 then 200

dodger63

Thank you

dodger63

My first time doing it, I got a warning light on was told it needs to be reset I can update you tomorrow after I get it back together unless someone knows already

dodger63

My favorite thing in the world is the junkyard type eclipse/talon cars with the big turbos barley make it to stage and the pull 10s out line there nothing!! Talk about bang for your buck!!! Anyway back to the story...

MB_Forever

When the heck are you going to update your signature

BenzoBoi

You're absolutely correct. If I recall correctly, my driver seat weighed in around 60 pounds give or take a few. I can go and check how much the rear seats weigh for the W211 E55 if people want to know. They have been sittin inside my house for quite some time now.

sighting

I can see the rear bottoms weight that much. I am almost certain those drop down backs weight at least 20 each... are all seat back not suppose to have some form of protection for impact projectiles in them? AKA sh*** flying around in the trunk? I know i am fishing here but any form of weight reduction has always been a pet peeve of mine.

bassn_07

I'm curious to know. Any plans on removing your passenger seat this time around? I had a few friends try and talk me into removing my seats but it seems like such a hassle. I already hate changing my tires out..... I wish I rolled like RAR, bring my own pit crew to the event so I don't have to do anything...lol.

Goni C63
