Yes. Everything is listed as what would be saved from what was on my 240GLT. So, like the stock brakes weigh maybe 20lbs for example, rx-7s are a bit under 10, so the weight reduction would be say 10lbs.
Here is a short list of what I've removed and weighed:
-(10-20lbs) Rx-7 brakes.
-(4lbs) Skinny 240 brake booster to save some on the front...dunno what I'll do if it breaks since they are rare as hell. I also like the more linear assist of the single 10" over the dual 8" and that it cleans up the engine bay a bit.
-(5lbs) (3" back, 7lbs full on a alum/plastic as opposed to 15+ for the small brass and 20+ for the large brass radiator) Mounting the radiator on turbo-intercooled mountings to put it 3" farther back in the engine bay for weight placement. Will also decrease response time of the fan clutch and allow the turbo-intercooled shroud to hug the fan a bit tighter too.
-(10lbs for a lighter batt, 20-30lbs off the front and on the back) Junkyard battery in a box in the back unless I score an optima/oddessy in time. -(15-35lbs coming off the front left corner to the rear right)
-(7lbs) Small starter from a 90 and later 200.
-(65lbs) Skinny bumpers (duh) (60lbs from the commandoz)
-(100lbs) A/C complete removal down to the evap.
-(32lbs) Carbon hood sourced.
-(18 lbs) Gut PS rack and all power steering brackets. Debatable...I like power steering on a nice tight new rack. Either way, I can save about 20lbs if I gut it off all the way, or about 8 by using the late pump and alloy brackets.
1(1-2lbs) Grind down intake manifold to save some weight. (about a pound or two can come off I'd guess)
-(15-25lbs)Delete K-jets at some point for much lighter MS&S (20-25lbs)
-(1-2lbs maybe?) Carve out some under the dash.
-(45lbs) Delete of sound deadening tar.
-(40lbs)Remove nasty old sound deadening mats.
-(5-10lbs) Make thinwall N/A header to replace the cast iron primaries
-(15lbs) Late thin manual window regulators from an 88+ 244DL...maybe...242 windows are heavy and I wouldn't mind power regulators...whatever there are only two windows.
Door pockets..gone.
(40-60lbs) Stock seats stay for now due to money. They are 40lbs each (without all bracketry) in a 242T.
(5-10lbs) Light weight/no stereo.
(18-35lbs) T5 aluminum gearbox over iron M46 or auto.
Maybe:
(19lbs) Weld up offending sunroof...maybe...I like the paint.
(7lbs) convert from e-codes to plastic 86+ lights...gross....yeah...no.
(20lbs) Carpet, door cards etc. This is surprizingly light, and I like carpet and door cards. Makes my car feel like less of a rattly piece hehe.
Sorry about the terrible format. I just cut and pasted this from another forum. Some weight would go back in with a cage and based on what I've welded so far (basically the front half of the shell), 5-10lbs will be added in welding wire or so. I have about a 5lb spool in it.
