[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1980917, member: 27518"] EG rear lamp, outer side 440g, can save near 1kg if you remove all on a drag machine.. EG stock glass headlights 2kg each, EG plastic headlights less than 1kg each, weighing later oso, still haven't gotten to remove the lights off my car. Type R clutch cover and clutch pad and bolts 5.6kg Type R flywheel 7kg. EG double din console 1.5kg... EG original centre console less than 1kg, weighting later. EG soundproofing material, boot area. (doing this one tomorrow on mine.. so I'll update later. EG soundproofing material, floorpan area (this one will take longer.. mine already removed, so have to wait someone else's one.) EK9 spare 5 lug tire and wheel.. this is heavy.. REALLY heavy... more than 10kg. est. probably about 12-13kg each. the scale only weighs to 10kg. (>_ EG fender liners 1.3 kg for both. Euro forged aluminium lugnuts, 600g per set of 25. Rays.. I dunno.. but sure lighter than stock bolts at near 1.7kg. Those forged pistons are also lighter.. I'll try and get one to weigh and compare to stock ones. Toda flywheel, hattech already gave, so not repeating. And more.. later.. Weighting some of these things, I can come to a simple conclusion.. most weight saving will come from removing the caulking and soundproofing (and also probably like the sepang drag 'rentung' cars, removal of certain metal sheets).. hopefully this theory will prove true when I remove the boot soundproofing material and weigh them tomorow. Assuming we remove some of the parts, we'd probably get 10-30kgs off while retaining on-the-road legality. Still a meager amount.. but I think we can probably shave off near 50kgs if we remove everything including the plastic bits inside. The caulking is not much by itself, but notice how our MDM civics have caulkings done horribly and applied thick and 'cincai'.. We just don't notice because it's all hidden under the plastic bits and our dash. I guess we might even get away with 90-100kgs, if we remove that entirely, or reapply it with more care. Don't forget the Power steering assembly, the A/C, and the water for the wipers, the case alone isn't much, but with the fluids, that's some weight there too. Damn.. I just gave away my ori EG seats I think those were pretty light... only have EG6 seats with me right now.. so I'll weigh that instead.. tommorow, when I remove everything for some cleaning. SO!!!! for heavy drivers.. that's something to think about.. hahahahaaha! [/QUOTE]
