jevansio Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I weighed the pump & condenser in one thread, and the entire cabin stuff (AC + HVAC) in another, off the top of my head the cabin stuff was 18kg, and the engine bay stuff was abotu 12kg.

nero Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Lightweight wheels, tires, lug nuts Performance seats Rear seat delete kit Aftermarket coilovers - AL or Steel housing both are lighter, AL housing can be much ligther then even equivalent Steel coilovers ABS removal Trac control motor removal Trac control on teh throttle body and the motor Lightweight Exhaust - Ti options available to Lightweight Stereo system - remove factory amp, JDM amp's can be heavier then US amps even on a factory Supra. A lot of these can be done as upgrades and weight reduction, hence having a nicer daily driver and it being quicker as well. Hi guys just wondered what are the best things to remove for weight reduction please? Mine is a daily driver so dont want to go tooo OTT but i'd be interested to see what are the popular ones and how much they weigh.... So far i've removed: Bonnet blanket (about 10grams lol) Spare wheel Jack Tool kit Stock a/bag steering wheel with lightweight Momo Would rather keep things like door cards and back seats in as kids kinda like sitting on something!! Antything in the engine not needed? I removed the Air Con system from my Skyline and that knocked off about 30kg!!! Thanx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nero Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Lightweight clutch will do a lot also, you can take off 50lbs with a lightweight Tilton vs the stock clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have no traction control either. I'm onto a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nero Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 A couple of hours on the trac control butterfly and module - basically remove the throttle body, then the parts. The trac control module/brake module another couple of hours to do that. Thanx Nero How easy is it to remove the traction control (never use it anway) and the ABS?!

Oh I noticed and laughed, but i fear the wrath of Ian C for posting too many non-technical posts in the technical section! Maybe Homer could indeed advise though on how to get driver weight down.
