I don't think you show us how your super light seat is bolted to the floor ? do you have any picture / info on that ? the planted seat base is so heavy, I am curious to see how you mounted your seat to the floor. I doubt the seat side brackets are long enough to reach the floor mounting points ?

Anybody know the weight of front/rear bumpers? would like to see if there are any body kits that will actually reduce weight.

Check my build thread. Post #2 should have the stock weights. And yes, there are aftermarket crash bars you can buy that are lighter.

Yep, I was going to get an Exige, so that's how I knew about these. The company shut down though, so they're pretty rare now.

I can't comment on this particular battery, nor can I confidently comment from the perspective of using it in a DD, but my 3 pound Shorai battery has been in for about 18 months now. I've never charged it, I never unplug it, it sits for weeks at a time, and it has never failed me once. Based on my experience with it, I will never buy another type of battery again, for any car. And I don't mean Shorai only, I'd be willing to try various brands, but if they're all like the Shorai ones, they're hosses.

Anthony, thanks for all your hard work.
http://www.chasebays.com/chase-bays-...or-for-subaru/ I hope you know about this! Saves an additional ~20lbs off the front. My intention is to do that, the light-weight battery and A/C delete in one shot. Today, I removed my subwoofer that I used maybe once a week, along with a bunch of crap just floating around in the car. I could not believe how peppy it felt. I am hooked now to weight savings. Going to weigh my Forgestar F14's tomorrow to see how much unsprung weight I need to compensate for... or not hopefully, hehe. |

Oh, awesome! No, I didn't know about the brake booster eliminator. I haven't had much time to keep up with new 86 products in the last 6 months or so, and I'm realizing there's a lot I don't know about right now.
And good job on that chart.
