Except they're CF door SKINS. The steel frame of the door is still in there.
im in the middle of ripping all mine out. had jza70 interior in a turbo-a and i hated it...got some bride seats in now and all so a gauge holder where the glove box was.
even though all my interior is gone i am going to lay black carpet down from front to rear because metal floors with holes look like shit !

That is true. It's worth about 100lbs off the front end. You also get over 300lb/ft of torque at around 2000RPMs. Then again it is not a simple swap. There is definitly fabrication involved if you want to do it right.
One thing I hate about threads like this are people posting telling you to just buy a Miata or similiar if you want a light car. To people who say things like that. If you want to fast go buy a fucking newer liter bike. It could easily cost you a lot less than modding a Supra or any car to be near as fast. My bike cost me $3600.
Obviously anyone posting about lightening a MKIII likes the car and wants to improve it. I have nothing in my car but a dash and the LS6/T56 and seats basically. I do not know the weight as of now but i'm guess-timating less than 3k lbs. I will definitly let everyone know the final weight plus driver once I get to a weign station.
Syst, you should be easily under 3k. I'm also curious to see the weight distribution with the LS1.
And for stripping the car, I was able to get my brother's supra down to 3k lbs by just removing stuff. Getting rid of extra engine stuff, everything inside that wasn't needed, etc. But I also took out a little more than most people would. Weight distribution wasn't too bad, I think it was 54-55% front, don't remember, it's written down somewhere though. But the battery was also moved to the inside and I did remove a lot of engine parts as well.
