dr_sharp Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Added door panels, floor mats, woofers, front passenger seat... that thing was heavy! I've now shaved 230 lbs. off of my car which should put me under 3100lbs. without driver. I'm really going to try to make it to the drag strip before I start with the sound deadening. I will be weighing all of that, too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_sharp Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 That's easy enough to weigh. I'll pull it out when I get ready to connect the power wire for audio amps. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Those two mods you mentioned do lower the vehicle weight by 1/5th of 1%... interested to see where this thread goes.

Windy Road Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Remove the sound deadening in the trunk. Its feels like a good 10-15 pounds that I removed. There some under the spare tire, under the black thing right before the rear seat and then on either side of the spare tire well under the inner trunk side covers. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hmm... Wouldn't it be easier to just go on a diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Road Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hmm... Wouldn't it be easier to just go on a diet?  Therein lies the problem, I'm like 150lbs if that   Here's a photo of my trunk minus the sound deadening stuff. I took it out from under the spare tire, under that black foam piece and under the carpet side pieces on either side of the trunk.  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/StevenCole/photo-10.jpg 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to drop weight where possible though, keep going  It adds up though. 230 / 3320 = 6.9%. That's like a big passenger, I'm sure that's enough to feel a difference.

clarkwgriswold Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 That seems like way too much work to save a little bit of time at the track. To each their own I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in hearing if he does this for a DD. [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

fixem2r Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Anyone removed the battery and replaced with an Odyssey battery? Ran one in my Evo for over 3 years with no issue. Saves about 20lbs from the front of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Wow, I wouldn't have expected that much from just a battery. I did not get a chance to pull mine out. I do plan on replacing mine soon though. I've had it for 3+ years without changing and I just left all of the interior lights on overnight a few days ago. Added some ion springs, stock bilsteins, and bilstein HDs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 fixem, what model of odyssey did you get? I'm tempted to try the 12.5 lb racing battery... http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/er15.htm lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixem2r Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Used this battery for about 4 years and replaced it when it started having issues turning the car over at anything below 20 degrees after sitting all night. Would still start the car but it was slow cranking. I know others do not like the small batteries, but I never had an issue. Hardest part is finding a tray and hold down that looks nice and fits the Legacy. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc680.htm True ballers use this: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Braille-Carbon-Battery-cranking-warranty/dp/B001JHJ1BC]http://www.amazon.com/Braille-Carbon-Battery-cranking-warranty/dp/B001JHJ1BC[/ame] or http://www.autoanything.com/electrical-components/65A4444A0A0.aspx?kc=ffproduct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
