my gsl-se without ps was 2540....





I will be doing a pretty in depth weight reduction in the next year or so. Hoping to drop 200-300 lbs.



I weighed my car a couple months ago and total weight was 2570. It has no AC or PS and lightweight racing seats. With that said, I think that my turbo weighs more than one of my seats. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

True that!! Thos evo seats I got are like four pounds each, I am serious about getting my seven below the 2k mark. There has to be a way to drop weight without making the car look like a piece of sheet metal. I took emissions off and put a new cat on. That dropped like 60~70 lbs. next was the nikki and manifold, that dropped another 8~10 lbs, header dropped 10lbs. seats were not that big I dropped 6 ~7 lb. Take the bumpers and replace with lightweight versions and you'll drop 60 + lbs. When I originally weighted my car I was at 2500lb with me fuel and backpack full of books. I weighed my yesterday and I came down to ~2200lb with me in it. I think your emissions and intake are your biggest things that you can change and drop some serious weight. Then of course those stupid bumpers that weigh a ton each!!!

13b is like what 20lbs over a 12a, maybe?



turbo stuff adds about 40lbs, again give or take, factory stuff is lighter, a gt54 t6 is prolly 80lbs by itself
