Weigh the paint in the cans before and after painting.
Weigh the welding rod and estimate the amount you used.
The tubing should be the easy part, just weigh that shit.
As for more weight loss... hmm... civic aluminum racing radiator might help.
Also I know im gonna get shit for this but the Yonaka seats are pretty affordable and should weigh less than stock ones.
the exhaust will loose you weight once you change it over to a racecar type, and don't forget a lightweight flywheel will save several pounds.

Still super jealous of your build

I think that would be the best way to weigh the paint in.

As for the rad I will be needing a full size rad. I've started my research on K swaps and I'm starting to piece together a parts list. It seems like all the people who lap their cars need a full size rad to keep them cool during hard driving. I'd rather err on the side of caution.

I know for sure I have another 3-4 lbs in sound deadning under the carpet, the carpet it's self is probably 5 lbs. The hatch trim (probably coming out tomorrow) probably around 3 lbs. I like to lowball weight so as it comes out it seems bigger than it is :lol:

As for seats I will be buying a FIA approved seat. I really like the look of a VIOS III, but as far as I know they aren't FIA approved.:(

Might have to try them out first lol jkjkjk
If he wants to buy ITR coilovers and press the bearings in, be my guest. :lol:

Those look so nice! I can't wait.

I opened a PayPal dispute with pwjdm and guess what... They finally shipped out the window visors just hours after I opened the dispute. I'm not very happy it took that much to get them to ship them. My asr brace better not be like that.

In other news I did go out to my Grandpa's last night and removed the components I wanted to and also grinded the floor so it's ready for paint. I will post pics later. I need to get more paint to finish the job.

I've never had a problem with them before, but this order was ridiculous. I wish it was easier for me to buy from JHPusa, they have an awesome part selection. I'm so happy you helped me out, otherwise I probably couldn't get the bushings at all.
