Remove your interior...

i meant like more significant changes not just interior...interior is like weightless, then again mine is leather and itrs have that light microfiber but then its not significant you feel? maybe its just... itrs were built much differently =\

like... how much my compression will be w\ this head and the ctr pistons.

Remove your interior...

Interior is only worth 100 lbs. other misc crap like rear wiper, antenna, window motors & such is another ~40lbs. If you have a cage there are more supports you can take out for another ~25 lbs.

Remove your interior, then pull up the carpet. Under the carpet is sound deadening material. Get dry ice and put it down on this material. Wait a few minutes to let it all freeze. Then bash it all out with a hammer! Oh and I have weighed my R without gutting anything, and then after gutting all interior except carpet, drivers seat, and both door panel's. I pulled out just under 200lb's. Also you can put yourself on a diet too! lol

I just shipped the seats - they are ~45lbs each. However, you have to put something back in...so 200 for just interior pieces is a bit exaggerated. I've got to weigh the cage we just put in & then continue subtracting the excess weight.

btw - why is the original poster trying to diet the kaa???

Seriously I pulled out 200lbs. Or the scale at Sacramento raceway is screwed up...

fwiw - I always weigh my car on the scales at Heartland Park during SCCA events. I'm assuming their scales should be good since it determines qualification.

Anyway, I weighed the car before and after the interior so the only stock pieces left were dash, center concole, power motors for mirrors and windows, and 2 stock seats.

Still need to take out the black brace under rear seat location, silver rear bar, but I'm leaving the mirror & window motors in. I'll eat that 15lbs
