Have a eg hatch si model with only a driver seat dash has been cut (prob 3lbs now) no heat ac or ps components at all all windows are lexan except front and back windshields and most of the spare sheet metal inside is gone minus the pillars near the front sunroof has a sheet metal plug from ccc of the car so

It weights 2100 with me in it and I want to get closer to 1800 any recommendations??

Soon to come will be
Fcs fuel cell Lexan front and back windshield Franks custom fiberglass hatch Ks front drag brakes Within 6 months ks rear trailing arm setup

Any advice on hitting this weight goal things I can cut out ext or is there a weigh to get lighter than 1800? I have heard some cars weighing in at 1600 without tube chasis? have pics that I will post later

 

 

tailgate
rear glass
lighter brakes
lighter 1 piece seat
lose the gut
fuel cell
gut the hood

 

Already doing all of that and I only weigh 160 lol

 

Either your bathroom scale is off or the scale you are using to weigh the car w/ driver is off.

2100 lbs gutted, with lexan, cut doors and 160 pound driver is way off.

 

Cars also a h2b which ads weight compared to a bseries but idk

 

Mine weights 1760 with me (im 100 pounds) and i have fiberglass hatch/hood lexan all around exept the front gutted only cut doors and a 5 gal cell

 

Lighter wheels, which ones are you running?

 

where to get fiberglass tail gate?

 

spare tire well.

 

Steelies in the back lensos on 24.5 in the front

 

Skinnies and a kirkey will shed a few lbs

 

Composite doors? Not sure what kind of class care you're building this for. LMK

 

You can get the rear screen here

Get an aluminium seat, the recaro's are typically pretty heavy. Probably save 30-50lbs there alone.

 

The firewall is 2 layered. Remove the in cabin layer, also there will be a significant amount of sound deadening between firewall layers. Also the undercoating and seam sealer from under the car, including wheel wells really add up.

 

I didn't know that is it spot welded like everything else?

 

Yes it is spot welded in many places, you will also have to cut in a few areas as well. If you drill out the spot welds, try not to swiss cheese the engine bay from inside the car lol.

 

Yea I'll try lol I'm tryna lose as much weight as possible by cutting before I go buying light parts

 

Yeah the scales ur using are off car should at least be at high 19xx the way it sits IMO

 

I think I had a full tank at the time I can't remember

 

Little update from over the weekend





New fiberglass hatch from franks custom fiberglass and rear lexan window

Up next is the front windshield and fuel tank

 

Nice, this car is going to be light!

 

are you happy with that hatch? I've been wanting to buy a coupe trunk from Franks but there were no pictures available. Pretty good quality?

 

Yea I love it!!! It fit perfect no issues at all mounting it was a little confusing for me cause I wanted it to be a certain way but besides that it's grey and extremely light fast shipping and all highly recommend franks
