Weight Loss Potential Thread
I was bored this evening so I put together a weight loss potential list. Some weight losses are exact and some are estimated (erred on the conservative side).
I used this thread for most of the stock weights for comparison. Other weights are from threads on this forum. I left out most of the miscellaneous <.5lb items. All weights are total (i.e. wheel weight reduction is all 4 corners, not per-side), and estimated weights have a "~". Code:
Item____________________________Stock___Aftermarket___Reduction Battery_________________________29.6____~15___________~15 SRT Header-Back Exhaust_________55.5____38.5__________17 Agency Power Header_____________20.8____12.3__________8.5 RPF1 Wheels w/22lb Tires (4)____41.4____~38___________~12 Spare Tire & Foam (remove)______25.8____0_____________25.8 Tools, Jack, Hook (remove)______5.8_____0_____________5.8 Essex Sprint BBK (AP Racing)____61.6____41.6__________20 Rear Speakers (remove)__________?_______0_____________~5 Front Seats/Brackets____________82.8____~45___________~38 Rear Seats (remove)_____________22.2____0_____________22.2 Owners Manual___________________2.8_____0_____________2.8 Perrin Crank Pulley_____________4.9_____1.2___________3.7 Flywheel (n/a yet!)_____________20.6____~12___________~8.5 CF Driveshaft (n/a yet!)________24.1____13.9__________10.2 Windshield Washer Fluid Bottle__~7______0_____________~7 Post up and I'll add to the list when I can! I know there is more un-needed weight that can be lost!

Nice post, thanks.
You were definitely a bit conservative on your battery weight loss potential. We were able to knock 25 lbs. off with current lithium-ion technology, while still maintaining 100% daily utility. Finding that extra 10lbs. elsewhere without impacting usability will probably not be super easy.

Your calc is off on the wheels... 41-38 is 3, not 12.

do the seats have airbags in them?
if yes, does removing them affect the functionality of the airbag system?

Braille has a few lightweight batteries for much less. I'm just not sure if they're any good. Anyone have any experience with them?

you can probably get away with just using a lemon and some copper wire
