Just posting out of curiosity
The weight of a standard 4ws 5th gen wouldn’t go a miss either. I.e someone’s actually put in on a weigh bridge.
Went and collected a 2ws subframe off Si_import the other day and got taking about the weights
I believe he’s going to go to the weigh bridge next week so will be interesting to see
I’m currently at
A/C delete including bracket
Zero interior
Plastic front windows with door skin cut out
Sun roof delete with plastic bung
One single Corbeau seat and harness
Enkie evo wheels ( not the lightest but good fitment)
To do
Dash out
Heater box removed
2WS conversion
ABS delete
Possible plastic rear window and 1/4 windows
Maybe loop the steering rack ???
Cut bonnet skin and remove bonnet latch
Cut rear boot skin and install more round aero catch things
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

I seem to remember reading somewhere (I think it was preludepower) that removing all "extras" including sunroof, ac, ps...etc you could save around 150kg. If you started cutting stuff up you could drop more. Take this with a pinch of salt though.
