Target : 200 lb weight loss without affecting weight distribution and interiors

Achieved : 10 lbs, with a further 60 in process...

ProjectD · 05-30-2013, 01:27 AM

Just curious, are there any other plans/ updates on any more weight saving tips? So far i have removed:

1 - junk in trunk (tools)
2 - rear seats
3 - spare tire

Looking into the battery mod (if you can call it that) and changing to a lighter version.

A Shorai Li battery is 4 pounds with stock CCA (360).
I am building my own front Big Brake Kit with assorted Wilwood components and that is 15 lbs per wheel as opposed to 28.5 lbs per wheel.

4lbs....and with matching CCA to our stock ones???

TAKE MY MONEY!

Building your own kit eh? I would be down to help out and give you a hand if only we lived closer. If you can give us an update....i am definitely in. Thanks!

I bought Wilwood's forged dynalite calipers, 12.19" superlite rotors with wrx aluminum hats, brake lines and BP10 pads, all for 650

I took all my measurements, and now am getting the caliper brackets machined. I am really apprehensive about the bleeding though...

I know exactly what you mean. I know that there is a DIY that someone did on replacing and bleeding brakes here that I read a few months back, but I don't know if I have enough confidence with it on my own lol

Will changing the suspension to coil over setup save the car any weight.

robispec · 06-13-2013, 05:47 PM

Yes springs and topmounts are usually lighter.
