from what i've felt, the front seats weigh about 30 lbs. each, stock rims w/ tires i think about 20 lbs. each, back seats about 5 lbs at the most, and the hood about 20 lbs

wheels alone for a 92-93 22 or 22.5, 94-96 is 17 or 17.5

seats are a wee bit heavier

There's been threads on this topic before. I don't think anyone got below 2600 lbs. Other things you can do to drop weight are: Remove, A/C, power steering, ABS, sound systems, power moon roof, power windows, door panels, sound deadning material (about 40 lbs total). The lude glass is really heavy, too. I don't know if Lexan has applications for 4th generation ludes. Replace your heavy battery with an Odyssey or other lighter application. Some only weigh 13-14 lbs. If you want to get extreme, acid dip the enitre chassis!
