Dutchboy pwned that one lol.
APS tests drop about 40 pounds overall. planning on AAM Y-pipe and 3 inch single which will drop another 38 or so. spare and tools is 45. ACT clutch & prolite is about 20-ish pounds...batteries can drop 20-25 pounds, light weight pullies is 7 pounds....it can come off all over the place. and whoever the Aussie with Tomei headers is....well..I hate you. wish we got Tomei headers here..

I just weighed my car last night at a CAT truck scale that is gaurunteed to be correct and I weighed in at 3020 with out me in the car. Weight reductions is:
No front bumper support
No windshield wiper fluid
Engine Bay plastics removed
Braille 6.3lb carbon fibre lightweight battery
Underdrive pulleys
Nismo Headers
Resonated Test Pipes
Nismo Y-Pipe
3' Single exhaust
No floor matts or trunk matt
No spare or tools
rear hatch weight delete
Rear wiper delete
Front strut bar off (temporary)
1/4 tank of gas
My car is an 03 track edition, my goal is low 2900's after I get new tires, RSR Ti2000 springs and do a few other small weight reduction items like remove the sub plate and rear tow hook.

Thanks, thats definately the next step, although I am having a hard time finding solid numbers on stock hatch w/glass vs. mastergrade CF hatch w/ lexan. I guess theres really only one way to find out.

I have no idea what the stock hatch weighs, but I would estimate it in the neighborhood of 100lbs with the glass.
My cf hatch w/ lexan window cant weigh more then 20. Those are both estimations, based on uninstalling and carrying the stock one, and assembling and carrying the cf one, but I'm telling you, the difference is extreme.
