I love my Status GT-X, much more comfortable then stock (I have compressed disks).

Also here is the how to defeat the airbag light http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...912#post416912

I went on a spree last weekend. I have a pathological hatred of extra parts and so a few came off.

First: lugnuts
Stock - 1lb 1.3oz

replaced with R26 open ended - 1lb 2.6oz

Second: noise generator - 1lb 8.5oz
(it was replaced with 1.1oz of grainger parts http://i.imgur.com/weESIdOh.jpg)

Third: unnecessary engine plastic (badge on intake manifold, alternator pulley cover, and AC pulley cover) 11.2oz

Finally: hood under blanket 10.2 oz
*no pic, and I gotta tell you the car sounds better without it.

Trunk is next...

Anyone know weight difference between limited and premium manual?

scottynoshotty · 02-24-2013, 09:32 PM

im looking at getting a set of recaro pole positions. 15lbs a piece as compared to 40 a piece for stock seats..anyone have any experience with these seats..drawbacks?

jkonquer · 02-25-2013, 02:39 PM

They are pretty nice i had them on my sti. They are considered xl size similar to spg xl. Only problem i had was the fabric fading a little areas where u touch when u go in and out. It was a daily driver though. Recaro uses very soft material compared to sparco.

scottynoshotty · 02-25-2013, 10:51 PM

Thanks for the help..i really like the idea of dropping 80lbs off the front with a seat swap and a lightweight battery

Gotta mount those seats on something... They'll end up weighing 30-35 w/ mounts/sliders.

scottynoshotty · 02-25-2013, 11:03 PM

Good point..i guess just letting them slide around in the cabin isnt the best idea

jkonquer · 02-28-2013, 03:52 AM

also bucket seats will let you have way more leg space for rear passenger.
