Winter Diet Results

Winter Diet Results
So the goal this winter was to take some weight out of the car. I had a goal of 100 lbs. The car started at 2897 at the end of the season last year. I ended up shattering that goal, to the tune of 183 lbs lost. (On top of that i took off 8 lbs off myself).
Not that it matters much, but I also probably helped lower the center of gravity by a bit, by getting rid of the sunroof, lowering the drivers seat 1" and passengers seat by 2.5".
So the car is at 2714 lbs. Now where can I find 15 more lbs to get to 2699.

Have you thought of carbon fiber hatch? Or shave down the weight of the stock hatch maybe by cutting out the underside (free)?
If you need me to weigh any parts like ABS, heater core, window glass and motor, door speaker assembly, etc... let me know. I pretty much made the jump to track only on my new build and gutted it out.

No need for a glove box in a track car and you can sell it for 85
air bag wiring/sensors
Ring harness and black fan box control
Misc nuts and bolts that you don't REALLY need
Light weight lug nuts
Light weight wheels and tires. Like SSR comps and Hoosiers
Have you removed the rear antennae, map light and any harnesses you don't need?
Nice roll bar
PS My car is similarly stripped and weighs in at 2650 or lower. Possibly 2625. So you can easily get to 2699
PSS Where did you get those seat rails?

Good job on the weight loss! Just out of curiosity how do you like the kirkey intermediate road race seats? I am really interested in putting them in my car.

If you're willing, you can remove the heater core, a/c core, squirrel fan and associated housings, relays and harness. It was an impressive pile of stuff when I pulled it all out! Maybe 30-40lbs...
I'm trimming down my car as well this spring...shooting for 2400lbs...
