You gotta beast Fadi. I know all the work you put into this car.

Ditch those factory twist. I know they're hollows but they're heavy.

Factory battery is 50 lbs and odyssey is 24. Rims + battery = 60 lbs

savings!

Thank you guys for the kind words, i hope soon to be able to raise the boost and do some proper testing. I really consider some OZs

Today I installed my new Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tyres, here are the weights:
Front 245/35 R19, 10,5 kg or 23,14 lbs
Rear 305/30 R19, 13,5 kg or 29,76 lbs

Maybe no weight reduction but interesting to know how much weight you add to rotating masses when adding wheel spacers.
All the spacers are from FVD Brombacher and measured as a set of two

7 mm wheel spacers + longer bolts, 1,71 kg or 3,76 lb
15 mm wheel spacers + longer bolts 2,59 kg or 5,70 lb
23 mm wheel spacers + longer bolts 3,45 kg or 7,60 lb
OEM bolts 1 kg or 2,20 lb

Hi from the UK guys, ive lost a bit of weight but put some dynamat back in to keep it quiet !!! I doubt ive put the equivalent of the rear seat/belt delete back in, Im waiting for some kevlar seats to replace the full power ones, I have in place Ti exhaust (under 20lbs) Ti decats (very light) rear seat delete, rear belt delete, rear wiper delete, no spare or tools, 5lbs LiPro battery, I will weigh her as soon as she is back together.

I hear you bro! I pulled all factory carpet and sound deadening and installed
Ozite carpet and paperboard molding. Ozite looks as good or better than
rs carpet , it's durable and it weighs 18 ounces per square yard. But the cabin
sounds like a nuclear holocaust.
