I forgot to mention I get 32 mpg. Samurai's car is also really light. You can easily get these cars in the 2000-2150 range. Just depends how much you want to remove.

HAHA looks like this turned into a fight of weights :D

Bad news my scale is out of battery i was going to weigh everything i took out today.. So that'll be tomorrow..

List of everything thats out and their estimated weights ( from research..

Trunk carpet, wooden piece, spare tire and tools - 36 lbs
Rear speakers - <5 lbs
Rear seats , Belt Buckles , Seatbelts - 35 lbs
Power steering- 17lbs
Lighter Battery ( came with it ) - 10lbs
Antenna-2lbs
Intake box and resonator - 10 lbs
Thats 130 pounds allready.. ( wohoo! :p

Anyone wanna add any info to this ?
Also lists of things i want out.. and their estimate weights..

Front carpet- 40lbs 
A/C - 46 lbs
Headunit, front speakers - 15 lbs
Passenger seat - 34 lbs
ABS unit- 40 ??
Lighter wheels tires - 10lbs ??
Steering wheels ( airbag removed ) also passenger airbag- 15 lbs
Bucket Seat - 15 lbs
Cf hood - 15 lbs

I am willing to remove anything that is not VERY overrated ... I want nothing comfort wise.. Hence why p/s is out and i want ABS and A/C as well .. As long as it's not going to put me in danger and be reliable like i said like a go-cart .. So please anything else you have in mind let me know , I am more than thankful for any guidance , especially from someone that is experienced on this subject :D

Take dry ice to that sound deadening. Google sound deadening removal for some how to threads. You can also remove the heater, gut your dash, and most importantly your sunroof. The sunroof is a good 35-40 lbs.

I am in the high 2100's(Depending on how much fuel is in the car) with a roll bar, which is heavy as f***. I will get you exact numbers mid this month. When removing the air bags make sure you have the battery unhooked. Yes, it will turn the SRS light on, so just take the bulb out of the cluster. I don't even have a CF hood and rarely do any of the track guys with insanely light cars. 400 dollars just isn't worth 15 lbs. Look in to a FAL rear window, that will net you good results as well.

I know people who have their cars in the 2000-2100 range with a roll cage, so yet it is possible. In fact you should check out donuts thread. He is the weight reduction master.

100+ pages of great info:

Soo guys wanted to give it a break with the interior and do the only thing the engine needs an OIL CHANGE! Previous owner said he didn't do one for a while , i looked at the oil on the dipstick , didn't look THAT bad but better safe than sorry and i always do it everytime I or a family member buys a car So less talk more pictures ...



Im waiting on the Oil i ordered since Oreilly or Autozone didn't have what i like and prices were outrageous... Off brand Oreilly oil for 18 BUCKS!!! Got Castrol High Mileage ( 5qt ) for 17$ online LOL!

So im gonna drain the oil overnight , change the Filter and hopefully add oil in 3 days..
