So this is what im thinking... for those who want to participate, take your car to a certified truck stop or some other official scale and have your car weighed WITHOUT YOU IN IT. take a picture of your weigh receipt and post it in this thread with every single thing you've done to achieve that weight (a list of every item removed/modified to achieve the reduction and/or items that have added weight) as well as an approximation of how much gas you had in your tank during the weigh (1/4, 1/2, full, etc). i will then modify/update my first post to display each participating member's official weight receipt and corresponding mods/weight reductions. what do y'all think?

[big j diesel357]

hotwheels ford focus 2 oz

 

[04silverzx3]

mine weighs in at 2460 with a half tank.

 

[CTZX3]

my 2000 Focus weighed 2200lbs, with lots of weight reduction, 1/4 tank of gas and me not in the car

 

[greydioflyer]

CTZX3 - thats awesome! Right now my ZX4 sits somewhere in the 23XX lb range but I know thats nothing in the world of weight reductions. Awesome to see some interest in this thread! Keep those numbers coming

 

[Dailyfocus14]

Im working on mine as we speak. Ive already been deleting some of the harness.
We should compile an thread about all the areas to lose weight in including pics a possibly deleting harness wiring "how to"... Anyone think this is a good idea?

 

[Nickgt40]

To the OP, are you planning on having a cage? If so I'm sure you're aware the kind of weight it can add.

 

[greydioflyer]

sounds like a good idea to me!

and Nickgt40, i personally have no plans for a cage... but yes, i am aware of the weight they add

 

[cedwards89]

There was a thread a while back about weight reductions for a rally car. Lots of info in there

 

[04silverzx3]

damn and i was thinking my car was decently light, but i do still have a/c and havent touched the harness. id be interested in reading some threads where people got them into the 2200-2300 range

 

[greydioflyer]

there are a few threads on the topic, but none have really been updated as far as i can remember... i think i was the last to post in a few of them

i thought creating another thread would be cool, especially if it were kept current

 

[Dailyfocus14]

^this. Like an official weight drop thread and the non obvious spots to remove it.

 

[greydioflyer]

so this is what im thinking... for those who want to participate, take your car to a certified truck stop and have your car weighed WITHOUT YOU IN IT. take a picture of your weigh receipt and post it in this thread with every single thing you've done to achieve that weight (a list of every item removed/modified to achieve the reduction and/or items that have added weight) as well as an approximation of how much gas you had in your tank during the weigh (1/4, 1/2, full, etc). i will then modify/update my first post to display each participating member's official weight receipt and corresponding mods/weight reductions. what do y'all think?

 

[CTZX3]

My 2000 focus was wreched so I cant really take it to get a pic of the scale for you.
Some things i removed that most people miss are the carpet-30lbs, rear crash beam-15lbs, rear sway bar-9lbs, passenger side air bag-13lbs.

[thenorm]

mine is 2480 lbs.
I feel this is pretty good, considering the limitations of my autocross class FSP.

its a 2004 zx3 2.0 zetec no sunroof
weight reduction 2 kirkey racing seats, 14lb wheels, removed spare tire and jack, but still full interier
weight adders - both strut bars, SVT brakes
future plans - lightweight battery

 

[Dailyfocus14]

Good idea. Unfortunately i wont be able to post for some time till i get mine running. Lol
Finally received my wiring manual today. Need to see what damage i can cause

 

[TitanFocus76]

i believe TopSpeed, a sponser on here has a zx4 down to around 2,000 pounds. I would look into their forum i believe there was a thread on it with weights for most items

 

[greydioflyer]

^^^ do you have a link?

 

[Dailyfocus14]

I have seen their weight thread but not one detailing the weight loss.

 

[greydioflyer]

Dailyfocus14, how's the harness coming along?
