Alot of us are pulling parts off our cars often, most of us probably have a reasonably accurate scale in our homes. It would be useful if whenever you pull a part off your car, before trashing, replacing, or selling it, please weigh it. Then post the result along with a description of the part including which type of FC it is for etc.



This shold get pinned or something so it can become an FC part weight archive of sorts, very useful for those of us trying to get our cars light without pulling everything out and weighing it.



cheers.

anyone know how much wieght i've dropped by removing the P/S and A/c Assembly?



I know it was alot. I mean damn. I almost couldnt lift the whole thing out my self



I'll get some pics of it in a bit. So much cleaner (and alot more room to work too)

I dont know about the power steering, but the A/C system alone I weighed at 58lbs. I'm guessing its close to 100lbs together?

Well, since I have no life, I took the a/c off the TII today and weighed it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png . I had roughly 15 lbs. for the compressor, 10 for the front cooler, lines, and 2 pounds for the little fan in front of the cooler.
