Well, around all four corners, my Pilot Sports save me 7-8lbs each, which is quite large. My upcoming Axis Hiros will weigh another 8-9lbs less per rim. My Borla TD weighs 17lbs less than OEM. And my HFCs will save me another 20lbs+ over the OEM cats. I have removed the carpets in the footwells (5lbs) since I clean the car fairly often, anyways. I removed the top rear carpet, as well (6lbs - I think).

Edit: Oh, and I do believe Hotchkis springs weigh 4lbs less per spring (so that's another ~16lbs). I need to check how much my OEMs weigh again. I know the Hotchkis weigh 8.8lbs (rear) to 9.4lbs (front).

I've lost about 60 kg so far which is about 130 lbs.

- seats --> Bride Cuga
- exhaust --> Amuse R1 Titan, no cats, Fuji Y pipe, Tomei headers
- wheels --> TE37
- brakes --> Endless BBK (not much weight loss though I have found)
- suspension arms, links and rods --> Nagisa Auto everywhere
- removed plasticss behind seat


I have however gained a few kilos with the cage and coilovers.

Typical noobs ... Do you honestly think most members here can't afford a $100 dollar tow? Some of us are dropped low enough where a spare might end up making our Z's scrape.

Great ... more noobs getting "salvaged" Zs and claimings they're something they're not.

https://my350z.com/forum/new-owners/308022-new-to-forums-z-pics-inside.html

How's that Non-Grand Touring with your non-existent brembo brakes treating you? You should have just stuck with the riced out celica.

BTW ... you fail at life.

wtf is this garbage?? The tire and tools weight close to 40 lbs total. What the hell kind of 10-pound spare do you have? I'll take a dump and it'll weight more than 10 pounds. "leave one headlight in" bhahaha....each headlight weights about 2 pounds with bulb. So it's smarter to risk ramming into someone's car at night to save 2 pounds of weight than it is to remove the spare, smart one?

Have you tried an odyssey battery? Cost about $90, weights 12 lbs vs stock battery's 35-38lbs. More importantly, you're removing weight from the front and top part of the car....
