4g61t.org :: AWD WEIGHT

Jason-I assume you have not touched the doors? Are they power or manual? The 4 doors are a bit heavier as is-and you have 100 lbs in metal int he door bars, and rear bumper on that car-more if its power windows.

I started this thread as a point of reference for the future, and to see if I can achieve my tentative goals with a Colt Body. Right now, it looks like I wont be able to

Gut the hatch.

I didn't want to say it.

Not sure where you guys are losing 500lbs.

Mine is 2990 sedan with me in it and a full tank of gas. No front bumper support, still has a/c, power steering and full interior with full 3" exhaust.

With the new aluminum exhaust I'm guessing I lost 30-40lbs easy. Not sure what else I can strip out.

I will be doing a full rewire and unnecessary bracketry and metal removal over winter.

Update, I weighed the car again at Norwalk this year. The only difference being the rear bumper reinforcement is gone and I now had a 4" aluminum cat back vs. a "heavy" stainless steel 3" catback.

The scale said 2785 without me and 2975 with me. So I only lost 15lbs or so

92 hatch, full interior, all glass, nothing was removed. 2978 with me in it (220)

Short of moving to fiberglass and lexan , then I think you can hit your goals easily.

All the brackets under the dash are removed, kirkey aluminum seats, fuel cell, and both bumpers removed.

Post subject:	Re: AWD WEIGHT
yes. they are around 2875 stock. so it takes some effort to lighten them up without tearing them up. . but boy is it worth it. best car on the planet hands down. if you want to read what was removed I kept good thread of mods on evolutionm. http://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-sh ... tweak.html
