It's in here, read the thread, you'll also see where I asked for the front page to be updated, sometimes you have to work for an answer, can't always be handed to you on a platter

The thread creator probably left the forum or whatever, which is why it hasn't been updated. We should probably remake this thread...

PPF with heat shield 31 lbs +/- a pound. (including vibration damper of 3 or so)
Driveshaft 10 lbs (6 spd)
differential entire assembly with mount 81 lbs

I am going to add stuff even though the first post does not get updated. At least you can search the thread to find things.

Thanks for the good info

that driveshaft sure feels heavier than 10# though, kind of surprising

15 lbs. I had it on my former RX-8. It was also posted here back then. I think the stock is twice the weight, 30 lbs. I remember it falling on my chest when I dislodged it.

Great thread but I've read the whole thing and I haven't found how much weight I would save by stripping ALL the interior. Anyone with answers?

Is the spare tire included in the factory curb weights? I pulled mine out. The spare w/bar/bolts, jack, tools, and case with sealant/compressor all came to 39 lbs.

No, the spare & mount is an accessory item. You would need to list the total weight of those components separate of the other stuff that came standard from the factory. Ideally you might list the total for the tools/jack as one item, the tire inflator kit as a second, and the spare/mount parts as a third.

Please PM Zoom44 or Brillo to add any additional information.

Bumper Reinforcement - 15.6lbs
What's the real purpose of this bumper reinforcement bar? Do we really need it?

thinking of removing it to cut the weight off front wheel axle.

^ the purpose of the 'bumper reinforcement'...

"The front box-section reinforcement bar is welded to the octagonal-sectioned "crash cans". The reinforcement/crash can assembly is bolted onto the front longitudinal frames."

"Do you need it?" Probably not, unless you get in a front-ender...but it may provide some front end stiffness to the frame as well.

I didn't see anyone mention the radio. I have the Bose system and I was thinking about taking it all out along with the seats.
