Has anyone used these CF parts on their BRZ to try make it ultra-light?

Maybe a skilled little person?

Eh, with the addition of modified controls that would probably defeat the purpose.

Besides, it's much more fun when you're behind the wheel. I think I'll look into removing all non-vital organs from my body for super weight reduction.

Sadly, none of these parts are true carbon fiber.

This is true, but it also depends on where you live. On the Gulf Coast, it's fine year-round. My 3 pounder has cranked in 15F weather before. Here's proof of 25F though:

Hmm it get's to like 35Fish in mornings here. How did you mount that battery? Will the FT86SF tray work?

Is this the one?

I made my own bracket: 3.6oz Carbon Fiber Battery Bracket for Shorai LFX21L6-BS12


And the link you posted is to the 21A6. I have a 21L6. I think the difference is what side the terminals are on. I would definitely go with the L6 though. Also keep in mind that I'm being very aggressive with getting that 3 pound battery. Most people get the 5 pound one.

I have a muffler delete.
Cost less than $100 CAD, and it saves about 20lbs.

That right there is bang for the buck. Much less than a cat back, louder sound, and instant weight savings!


Of all the Seibon bits, I think the only worthwhile one would be the roof. Unless of course it's just an overlay.
You could also do the rear seat delete. But simply taking out your seats will save you more weight since you aren't adding the weight of the carbon fiber, and it'll save you nearly 2 grand.

I'd say maybe those +10mm front fenders too, but I think your $700 could be better spent elsewhere.


I think some of the best weight savings would just be titanium exhaust. I have a Tomei T60 catless front pipe, and the thing weighs about 2lbs.
