Weight reduction results

****
I swung by the recycling center this morning and weighed my car to check on my dieting results. In total the car lost right at 200lbs, which is pretty impressive considering its virtually impossible to tell what I took out. What is concerning (maybe) is the rear was 220lbs heavier than the front with a 46/54 weight distribution. Pretty close to where you want to be but making me wonder if I want to fill the tank up all the way for my next event.

Car 2900lbs (wet)
Driver 210lbs
Half tank 65lbs
Empty weight 2625lbs


Front 1340lbs
Rear 1560lbs
Distribution 46/54


Here’s what I’ve removed
  • Swap to fixed back seats
  • Muffler(replaced with stainless unit)
  • Spare
  • Cats
  • Engine sound deadening
  • Electric Top gearboxes, motor and other hardware
  • Sub Woofers
  • Pass Airbag
  • Spoiler motor and frame
