Havent we all, I'm starting to feel better about the 35k I put into my M5 to give it 75 more hp now that I see that other people are as sick as I am for doing that. Trust me, I feel your pain.

 

Yeah I know it all to well have a IWC Benz kleeman package bbs lms 20's on the floor my beater This crap adds up so quick it starts to make me sick, I am about 125k + in to 911 with out the price of the car

 

Car's are like women
They feel great when your with them (nice version)
But man do they cost a lot of money

but at least they dont talk back, wont leave unless you dont pay for them or dont want them , and dont take half when they do leave

 

100% correct the older I become all the toys get pricer

 

Thank you DMK,

Your spending makes my modding seem downright Prudent and almost

healthy !!

You guys come up with an accurate, comprehensive weight savings list and I'll make it a sticky.

FYI...my RWD conversion saved me 120 lbs. That's front axles, driveshaft and diff guts.

 

Scott,

I will weigh my factory seats when I remove them
and then weigh the factory GT3 seats and give you the
difference in actual lbs.

Crazy considering others that did the RWD conversion said no more then 80lbs they weighed in at, i never got to weigh mine but it was a noticeable different in every aspect!

 

It's not crazy. They simply didn't remove as many components as I did.

 

Hey..... so are you saying my list lacks accuracy and comprehension?????

Who wants the arduous task of putting all this info together? I would but I would need to know what info is considered as accurate.

 

I'm assuming that what you have remaining is the two front axle stubs lateral to the CV joints and a splined shaft from the front of the transaxle. Is that correct? I'm getting ready to do that conversion and have found a lot of different numbers in various threads on the board as to what is the actual weight savings.

I took out all of the sound deadening from the back half of the car..&
carbon bumpers front and rear
Carbon hood (getting installed soon)
carbon trunk
carbon wing
Carbon Kevlar Fenders
GT3 Seats
LW Flywheel (installing one soon)
Carbon kevlar rear flares (cut off some of the body to extend fenders so there was some metal reduction )
I will be weighing it again when I have the LW Flywheel done and new exhaust done (GT3 cup car style one muffler)

 

So do you have an idea of how much weight you lost?

 

I don't know to be honest... Alex (sharky) weighed his, and he was around 28xx.... if I remember correctly.. i also have the carbon fenders and trunk and hood... so I am hoping low 2800...

 

With everything mentioned above, there are many items being overlooked.
