Weight Reduction: PWR radiator (but holds more coolant, so... a wash?), Stance coilovers, upper rear seats deleted, spare tire deleted, most sound deadening deleted (argh, damn previous owners), JZA70 hatch carpet in place of board/side bins, light weight driver...

MKIV is heavier than MK3? At a glance.. I would have never guessed that..
Oh... Nm... Wheels are from mkiv. I misread that.

Body: Stock
Weight Reduction: As much as possible up to that point (several years ago, was still my daily driver)
Added Weight: 24x12x4 fmic
Weight: 2780 gas was low, light was close to turning on
Several years later and I'm trying to think of everything I've removed since I weighed it. The number is my guess at how much each assembly weighs based on feeling it. I always guess lower because I'd rather be surprised when the car weighs even less than I'm expecting. I'm sure there's more but right now what I can remember is:
25 3" catback exhaust (long with 4" carbon ti muffler and cat-replacing resonator)
35 side windows with motors and controls/rails/brackets
5 side trim
5 rear center section
20 replace rear and 1/4 glass with smaller lexan with no trim
4 hatch shocks
8 spare tire well (weighed on scale)
10 headlights and motors
2 center console and armrest
7 dashboard
10 both door panels
8 front and rear mudflaps
12 power steering pump, lines, reservoir
5 battery tray and more misc brackets
Added: external wastegate (never held it, no idea how much it weighs)
Then when I'm at the track:
15 remove passenger seat (not stock)
1 remove grill
2 remove parking light
5 remove headlight cover assembly
2 shorten intake
15 remove rear bumper
I weigh around 135.
Everything is in pounds.

My updated guess was pretty close, it's clear the original scale I used a few years ago was accurate.
The removal of the passenger seat is the only "at the track" weight reduction from my previous post that was done for this weigh in.
This is with ALL body panels AND a full cage. Running engine of course, 1jz with driftmotion ct26.
The stock gas gauge was showing 1/8 tank of gas.
I'm still planning on removing weight from the doors (the plan is to make them just like stevenr816's). One of the other things I can do is change my giant 24x12x4 FMIC to a smaller, lighter one. I can also change to a lexan windshield with bracing, and I've heard the clutch fan setup is a little bit lighter than the hydrofan assembly. But I'm a firm believer in "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" so I'm not necessarily planning on changing any of that. There is more sheet metal I could cut out, however I don't want to swiss cheese the front because I need to keep the correct pressure zones in the engine bay for cooling. There's more weight I could cut out from the rear but I have no plans on doing that.
This rounds to 56 front / 44 rear.
It will be interesting to see if my lap times go down with a full tank of gas
I need to run to chevron to get some more rear ballast :biglaugh:

Very nice man. True story though, weight of fuel does change handling a bit. People wonder why I tend to race with a full tank, I tell them it's for traction reasons.AGlobalThreat;1914460 said:I need to run to chevron to get some more rear ballast :biglaugh:
