I went through various threads and the sticky weight loss thread and compiled a list of all the places we can remove weight from a track car. All the weights in the list I have found VERIFIED numbers on a scale. If I was not able to confirm the number it didnt make the list. As I go through this list and continue to strip my car I will update this so that we can have a master list of where to lose weight in our cars.

This is intended for a full track car with a cage. Some of the weight loss items could be potentially dangerous in a car without a cage.

What was the weight difference between your gutted doors and the CCP doors? I don't understand your negative weight ratings lol.

You will gain roughly another 10lbs over gutting the doors. Its about 50lb to go from oem full doors to the CCP doors.

Okay so weight of your gutted doors is 20lbs each, and the advertised weight of the CCP doors is 5lbs each, I would think the weight reduction would be around 15lbs each or 30lbs total instead of just 10 for the pair?

Or are you randomly alternating between "amount of weight removed from item" and "item weight itself"?

^to arca's point, it may be beneficial to have a few columns for clarity as I was a bit confused by that as well.. weight of component total, weight of modified component, calculated net weight savings, etc

I have a quite extensive list of weighted items off of a NB2 somewhere. If you could make it a shared collaborative spreadsheet (Google drive or sth), we could all add to it.

matrussel - this is super ----, worrying about a stupid horn, but I meant that you have a line item 3.8 lbs called "front bumper horn" and I believe it should be 0.38 lbs.

Might be a misunderstanding. The horn that is being g revered too are the two steel nubs on the front core support. They are the kinda tear dropped shaped things. I'll find a picture

Hang on - did the word "a-n-a-l" just get filtered out? In my note above it says "this is super ----". Huh? Lame.

Sorry, I thought I'd be able to delete these.

I don't think we have changed the censored words here in ages and ages?
