I'm interested in shaving off some weight from my 86 but I have already done a number of mods that have likely added weight. The problem is that I'm having a hard time finding the specs of some of these items and I would like to get a good idea of what I have added.

Here's a list of items in question. If anyone has any info on these weights (perhaps I just missed it in my searching) please let me know/provide a link. Thanks!

1. B2 Auto Designs hubcentric spacers. 20mm and 25mm - I might just end up removing these because I remember them being relatively heavy. But I do like the effect they have on the stance of the car...

2. Smoked Valenti Tail Light vs Stock OEM tail light

3. Smoked Valenti Reverse Light vs Stock OEM reverse light

4. Beat Sonic Shark Fin Antenna vs Stock Antenna

5. H&R Super Sport Springs vs Stock Springs

6. JDM exhaust tips vs stock exhaust tips (from a 2013 frs)

7. BRZ trunk lid liner
I think that's it for now....

You're trying too hard to cut weight

FatFree · 11-16-2015, 04:13 PM

Nah, I'm just curious as to what my car's weight might be with the mods I have done. I wouldn't think they're all that much different but it would be nice to know

Take it to a race track or somewhere that does motorsports alignments, both will usually have scales.

Another option would be to find a place that sells grains, produce, or animal feed in large amounts. They will usually have a giant scale you can use.

Trucking weigh stations are also an option, but I've heard that same won't even register the weight of a smaller car because they're calibrated for much larger loads.

I have had good luck with truck scales.

We have a truck scale at work(really big metal shop). Anywhere that deals with trucks and a product measured by weight will have a scale

How about OEM intake, snorkel and inlet hose?

Yeah, no problem. Anything else you need, just check post #2 in my build thread. That's where I got that photo from. Just click the picture in my signature for the link.

Does anybody know whether there's a similar alloy bracket for the other side?
http://shop.namelessperformance.com/...rz-fr-s-gt-86/

Or what options does one have to get rid of that other heavy bracket?

You can just delete them. This may present an increased chance of fire in the event of an accident, but if you want maximum weight savings for maximum cheap...

I did get these strut braces: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/41176

They actually weigh 382 g each (or 0.84 lbs) - still lighter than stock but not as light as advertised.

Anthony · 12-08-2015, 08:21 AM

Are those as phat as they look? They look like 1 inch tubing.
