Weight Reduction

[SuperDave]

Thought I would create a thread which lists the weight of various parts and mods in the Corolla. I haven't pulled my car apart yet, but if anyone does it on the odd drag day occasion (or boredom) then would you be willing to weigh your parts? So we can have a list just like the Celica fellas do in this link. Even though a lot of parts will carry over, some parts will be different.

So far I have;

Interesting thread

I think the best weight reduction to is to lose some kilos around the waist.

I'll weight my 18 inch wheel and whiteline front sway bar tommorow.

As every gram count when trying to lose weight..its a good comparision...see if the coilover will weight more or less than the stock...... :P

[vin corolla]
