what have you removed?

[Mike]

what did your cars come with that they no longer have?

mine.......
air, egr, hvac, radio, spare and jack, bumper support, anti lock brakes, traction control, cruise control, front sway bar and all brackets, battery tray/coolant overflow, windshield washers......

probably more....

but, it will pass nj inspection and has full interior. :nod:

[Whiplash Performance]

The Goat:
Air condition components
Passenger and rear seats some times
Rear stock spoiler
The RUBBER inserts in the nostrils
The Trailer hitch brace (Yes that's right we have a trailer hitch brace on the goats)

[5.7TA]

[baddest434]

[racerz]

rear sear,HVAC setup,EGR,AIR injection,exhaust system,seat belts,sound deadening,ABS brakes,cruise,stereo,speakers and wiring,side impact bars in doors,removed all undercoating, also had stock seats lightened.

[NJ346]

removed- sway bar, the main backseat part(buckets are still there), spare tire and jack, a.i.r., egr, and heavy ass front tires.

Added-10" sub, subframe connectors, LCA relocation brackets, various other suspension parts that are heavier than stock.

All in all, I'd say I'm still down a few lbs from stock.

[NastyEllEssWon]

jack/spare....rear seats...egr/air are gone...a/c is coming next

[01SS]

I think mine came with a certain reliability and lack of pain crossing railroad tracks. Yup thats all gone now.

[Formulalt1]

Air/EGR, resonator and A/C system. I am sure there are other things but can't think of them right now.

[deadtrend1]

The street legal'ness out of the LT1 ... :(

cats, spare tire + jack, TCS, cruse, front sway bar, Most of the AC

[Savage_Messiah]

Everything includes brackets

a/c, front sway, cruise control, carpet (done more cuz of t-top leaks than weight), rear seats and belts, hatch flap, spare and jack, airbags (drivers side is bolted in so there's not a big hole), front bumper support, trans-mounted exhaust hanger, some heat shields... all I can think of right now. Unless hood counts.

You removed all forms of life from it.

[Savage_Messiah]

no, still got spiders on the underside, little bastards

[Formulalt1]

:rofl: Kasey, I remember years ago when I had to like stand on the passenger side (cause you took the seats out) while we went for a test drive after we put a driveshaft in it (I think it was after the driveshaft.)

[Jersey Mike]

i went down to E-town with full street weight, just to see what she was capable of at full weight.
Taken out the spare tire, jack, and 12-disc changer since then.



I'm reading through your posts and it's made me curious, if I remove the AIR/EGR, can I still pass NJ inspection?

if its 97 up and you have cats, yes. you just have to get the computer tuned so that there is no check engine light for the egr/air. you can technically fail for visual, but, that would require the dmv guys to memorize where each and every cars egr/air parts would be

[98tadriver]

in the z28, ive removed nothing

the trans am, removed alot of things, and still have more to go :D

Thanks for the confirmation :nod:

[Jam]

EGR, AIR, rear seats, seatbelt components, spare jack/wheel, . probably a total of 70-90lbs. eh.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

No AC components at all...The guy who owned before me was a drag racer so I think he lost everything but the rear seats.

[69BirdX]

Pretty much nothing....

[LTb1ow]

Safety?

[sweetbmxrider]

the bumper supports, impact bars, and door bars are big. abs is kinda a good thing but its doable without.

[Knipps]

Every little bit helps....car drives fine no worries on my end...lol

According to the guru's on LS1tech...their weight reduction list claims I've removed 450+ from my car....and I'm still not down...might actually run and get my car weighed and give you all an actual number...

hope it's not a street car :-?

100% Street Car....see's the track once in a blue moon....

[sweetbmxrider]

mines probably lighter with 4 stock seats and cats.......and i still have bumper supports and door bars...

maybe i DO have a street car?

[sweetbmxrider]

:willy: i wanna know your race weight too mike!

[DaSkinnyGuy]

front plate and side molding

[MyFirstZ]

spare and jack. . . added a stealth box and amp rak and sub frame connectors. I enjoy ac to much to remove lol

[Jersey Mike]

[MyFirstZ]

thats what my friend said when he got rid of it out of his 5.o, now whens it humid we take my car hahaha. windows down and 60 was not enough

[Mike]

i love ac too, in my trailblazer and civic

[Tru2Chevy]

Hmm.....my list, as best as I can remember:

A/C
sound deadening
front sway bar
power steering
computer
90% of the wiring
stereo & speakers
rear seats & belts
misc. unused brackets

I'm sure the Dana 44 is heavier than a stock 10 bolt, as are the beefed up LCAs and the BMR CM torque arm.

Stock steel DS replaced with stock LS1 DS. LS1 DS will prolly soon be replaced with aftermarket 3.5" aluminum DS. Aluminum heads over stockers saved quite a bit of weight. 16" crosslace wheels & tires are a bit lighter than the stock 15" steel wheels and tires.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

[blueshark123]

Some serious weight reduction in here. I need to stop being a pansy and start tearing stuff out.
