Good? Probably not. Better? That's more like it.

Composite Worx SP-1 Single Skin carbon fiber seat: 7.025lbs
Composite Worx Universal Mounting brackets: 5.563lbs (WHAT!?)
Composite Worx Dress Up Kit: 0.175lbs

12.763 pounds total

That is hard core... The seat does not look comfortable at all. lol I'd like a bit of damping material for my spine from the chassis for daily duty.

You right.

The first symptom of discomfort I get is an aching in my leg/hip, basically the very top of my femur pushing against the side of the seat, but it isn't bad and it takes like 30 minutes for it to even become noticeable. The back of the seat and the overall ergonomics are great, actually.

Concerning the seat, I'm most worried about replacing those stupid steel brackets with aluminum ones. They're really pretty, but they weigh almost as much as the seat. Unacceptable!

Good stuff.

Holy shit! thats a nice lightweight build brother.... that pic of all those parts outside your house made me so jelly! good luck with your build hope the car turns out just as you want it to!

Bump for MAJOR update. Post #2 finally has data in it.

I still have a lot to add, but those are all the numbers based on all the photos I've already uploaded. Still have to take pictures of my seats, which will be the biggest single factor, and install my battery, front pipe, and rear control arms. Plus there are other things I took out weeks ago that I still haven't taken pictures of. Definitely well into the 200's now. And I weigh ~170 pounds, so I'm now far exceeding my body weight. Much psyched.

Nice thread man. Will give lots of people great info. But for accuracy sake you should include tire weight to go along with wheel weight so someone new wont be wondering why they may have gained weight with lighter wheels

[Anthony]

Yeah, I'm getting there. I'm still running the tires that came with the car. I'll weigh the new ones right before I put them on.

What is your target weight? I noticed the bumper support beams were not on the cut list.

Around 2,350. If I break 2,400 I'll be happy.

What cut list?

List of items you removed or replaced with cut weight components. The front and rear bumper beams should be worth a nice chunk of weight savings at the front and rear extremities.
