The Official P10 Weight Reduction Thread!!!

[MUFASA]

Alright so i searched and found some outdated threads on weight reduction so i made my own since I'm starting to strip my P10 and have put certain things on the scale. also if you have taken off any other parts and weighed them post them up and I'll update the list, here it is,

Stock rims= 16 lbs
Stock steering wheel= 9 lbs
Back seats= 37 lbs
Passenger seat= 43 lbs
Driver seat= 45 lbs
Sound Deadning material= 20 lbs

Check out trbobrks thread in the sponsor section. Thats the only thread you will need. P10 under 2300lbs FTW.

I remember something like a 10 pound weight savings going to carbon fiber hood FWIW but we haven't put on our CF hood YET and reweighed the car so its speculation at this point

[javcrodgz]

For the P11, the CF hood is WAY Lighter than stock hood, at least 20lbs

^P10 as well. people always say it doesnt make a difference on P10s. It does..

[burubuduy]

eat less. every pounds of body weight keeps the car run slow.

[stuntzG20]

my p10 hood/trunk weight like 30-35lbs total combined, CF...

Also if the driver can afford to loose some weight it wouldnt be a bad thing.

[trbobrk]

It was way easier for the p10 to loose 500lbs instead of the driver.

I've decided I'm going to wait till I get the LSD trans in it before I weigh it again. But I should be somewhere about 2261 empty currently.

That's whyz I alwaysz takes a craps before I street racerzzzz!

I've weighed snickers from a dead shell with nothing in it and missing most of its useless steel. I think it was 452lbs. that was with the rear tail lights and front windshield. I added back the weight of everything that is going back in and I figured it should be about 1900lbs...

As far as removing weight from the car, you need to decide if you want it to be a street and comfort car or a raw stripped car. there really isnt much of an inbetween.

sorry for the slow updates but i've been taking alot of extra shifts at work and been getting mad overtime,

so last night after work and working on my girls car my girl and me went to work on my car and took off the gunk off the floor and after trying a few minutes with a hammer and chisel i took a tip from here

and went and bought some dry ice and and hammered and peeled off the gunk, took a while but alot less than trying to chisel the crap off.

^^wtf you been up to, just lose the weight yourself, haha. j/k

I might roll in my se-r to the oc sometime this week for work.

[Snickers]

I should reverse weigh my car... as I put stuff back in it, weigh it then.

[G20 Zelman]

I'm trying real hard to figure out where that came from... I've never gutted a car, so I wouldn't really know.

[DMSentra]
