So i'm trying to lighten the back end of this baby up a bit and i figured if i remove/replace...

-the rear wiper motor (6lbs)
-the rear subs and frame (20lbs)
-stock exhaust (30 lbs)
-stock wheels (4lbs)
-and the rear wing motor (30lbs)

...i can roughly lose about 90lbs off the rear end. My question is then... Is removing the rear wing motor an easy DIY or how much can i expect to pay to have a tuner do it? And the car will be tracked quite a bit so i'm thinking that i'll leave the blade in the up position to maximize down force. Any thoughts on any of this is greatly welcomed! Thanks!

 

30lbs for the wing motor? I know Im out of place here but that sounds very optimistic. I had to ditch all kinds of stuff in the 951 to lose 90lbs including the spare tire, jack, rear seats, etc..

 

Hm... 20lbs for the rear wing motor? And definitely not out of place. Anyone done this know how much the rear wing motor weighs? Scott?

 

Here is the best weight removal thread https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...weight+removal

DMK stated 30-35lbs for the wing motor..

 

That's where i saw that.

 

The actual motor doesnt weight 30 lbs for sure, go to this link that is what you want https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...t=wing+removal

 

I read through that and couldnt find the weight?

WTF?! There is no mention of the rear wing motor weight in any of those links. If you disagree with DMK's estimated weight of 30lbs just say what you think it weighs for cryin out loud!

 

I have it off, I can weight it tomorrow I was sending the links for you to have instructions to remove

 

You could have said that with the links. Glad you cleared that up, i was gettin pissed man!
