Ever Wonder How To Make Your TC Lighter

[eddiemoney]

I have had several questions recently about removing items on the tC to make the car lighter/faster from several of my racing buddies. Well for your guy's benefit for anyone that cares, here are some biggies my buddy came up with:

"
Ever wonder how much weight savings can be obtained by removing all the air bags and install a Momo steering wheel? Just over 11 pounds:)

May not seem much to you guys I know but we expect to save approx this much weight in the areas below.

Airbags, steering wheel 11lbs
Seat brackets and seats, 25lbs at least
no rear speakers, 2lbs
engine cover, misc brackets 2lbs
glass top 45lbs minimum, maybe 50
hood 12lbs
hatch 25lbs approx
sound deadening 15lbs we will remove stock and do our own:)
middle rear seat belt 4lbs rear seat and belts can be removed for racing
stock radio 4lbs
spare tire, jack, etc 35lbs
exhaust system 20lbs
ABS 20lbs approx
cut off excess from all bolts,
brackets, misc 10lbs

Unsprung weight
Coilovers 8lbs
brakes 10lbs approx
tires/wheels/lugs 12lbs

Might have this moved to tC section.. or one of the tech sections, not sure which one it'd fall under though.

Good point of reference for someone wanting to shave a few lbs here and there ... tho I think some of us would be better suited goig on a diet to save weight in the car before we start shaving bolts. :pilot:
