thanks for the iop: op: op: nformation!!!IronTerp said:Bought a new scale for work a couple of weeks back and brought it home this past week for a little weighing.....The scale is a professionally calibrated commercial model made in Germany.
I'm always looking for some simple weight reduction mods that won't compromise the comfort/appearance of the Cobra and/or can be temporarily removed relatively easily for drag day duty. Here's what I found:
Spare tire...........................-26.4 lbs
Jack/crow bar......................-6.6 lbs
Trunk pad...........................-6.0 lbs!
Mott bar (under diff).............-7.8 lbs
Front sway bar/brackets.......-12.4 lbs
Rear seat bottom.................-11.0 lbs
Rear seat back....................-25.6 lbs
Rear seat head rest..............-5.6 lbs
High flow catted midpipe........-22.6 lbs! (stocker=36.0, High flow=13.4)
Odyssey battery/bracket.......-22.2 lbs (stocker=37.6, Odyssey=15.4)
Front 3.5" ProStars(2)...........-40.0 lbs (stock w/ F1's=49.8, ProStar Skinnies/spacers=29.8 each)
Total.................................-186.2 lbs!!!
Notes:
-I run a cardboard rear seat delete at the track (tacky I know....), but be careful with the weight of the rear seat delete kit you may buy. Some are 12+ lbs.
-Didn't get to weigh my Off road H pipe (it's on the car!), but can probably only deduct 1-2 lbs for one....The Magnaflow catted X is light!
-Interesting info: OEM Chrommies w/ Nitto 315's = 52.4 lbs, OEM polished w/ MT 275's = 53.4 lbs.....
Thanks to ALMO, JRS BLOWN SNAKE, & Antex, among others, for sharing weight reduction ideas with me........
