Removed all A/C components today. 45lbs tops.
Compressor ~25lbs
Condensor ~10lbs
Evaporater ~5lbs
Drier, lines, and fluid ~5lbs
I don't know where people got their 70lb+ numbers from. I think it's just a case of some noodle-armed cb7tuners overestimating the weight.Metal Metal and more Metal!!!
How much does your wheel/tire combo weigh? Post here!

since im building a track car, i was thinking...stock oem exhaust system is pretty heavy.
what about replacing the entire system with mild steel piping and one dynomax racing muffler
i was tihnking of putting that in replacement of the cat and run piping all the way to the back and weld in a tip.

13 pages so far! this has proven to be a really informative and intersting thread.
you could trim a little off your shifter, and save a few ounces and make it have a little sportier look, lol. im mostly joking but if someone decides to do that, make sure you have one of the aftermarket shiftknobs that use small allen screws and not a shiftknob that threads on.
also, in my town there is a co-op where farmers used to sell different grains, and there is a scale there where they used it for weighing loads. It's pretty accurate and its on all night. so i just drive onto the platform get out of the car and climb a small ladder and look in this window, and voila! I realize my car is a tank, lol. I havent done anything with the weight reduction except when i got my flywheel. I actually would like to take this time to say that an 8lb flywheel hasnt pleased me. first gear is incredible, then second gear falls on its face..
anyways, lets keep it going! people keep thinking of things to add.. or uhh .. remove!92 lx
automatic
slow

yeah working with pkgs all the time you get close (fedex) im usually within a lb or so guestimating stuff
Put in racing seatbelts and took out all the auto seatbelt stuff. (ALL!) the brain isn't 6lbs... but removing all the belts, the motors, and of course the brain, is maybe 25-30. The new belts I have are probably about 10-12lbs so I still saved about 15lbs.

Second round of hatch crap removal. Here are the weights (pretty much all wagon specific)
6x9" Speaker Cover: 1 lb
6x9" Speaker bracket: 1 lb
Strut Access Covers: .8 lb (.4 lb each)
Rear Side Trim: 2 lb (1 lb each)
Rear Center Trim: 2.6 lb
Vent trim: .8 lb (.4 lb each)
Side Storage Cover: 2.4 lb
Side Access Panel Cover: .6 lb
Hardware from hatch: .6 lb
Total: 11.8 lbs
Then there are things that I left in but weight just for clarification.
Wagon Hatch Cover: 11.8 lbs
Spare: 43 lbs
Spare tie down: .4lbs
Jack: 3.8 lbs
Jack Holder: .6 lbs
Tools: 1.8 lbs
And a picture of the hatch just to show what it takes to loose this amount of weight.
