KA with intake. Still have all smog-legal parts in place, factory manifold, 3" cat to 3" aluminized mild steel piping to Magnaflow muffler.
Also running 245/40R17 RE01Rs on CE/TE combo. Switching from heavy Optima or stock-sized battery to a Braille will almost guarantee you at least 20lbs weight savings. I have both bumper supports. Here's a nearly complete list of what's been removed or replaced to save weight: -all interior panels except door panels and dash, no glovebox, head unit, headliner, or center console -rear seats -most of the sound deadening except on rear wheelwells and driver's and passenger's footwells ahead of cross bar thing -AC compressor, compressor bracket, condensor, condensor fan, and most of the lines -replaced Optima with Braille B14115 and relocated to behind passenger seat -replaced stock power belts with S14 manual belts -removed stock power sunroof and riveted sheet aluminum in its place -replaced stock trunk lid with carbon trunk lid, held shut by 2 pins and 2 latches -replaced stock hood with FG hood, held shut by 4 pins -removed cruise control -removed all speakers -removed antenna -removed all unnecessary wiring inside the passenger compartment and currently working my way forward -lightweight flywheel (it's not much but it counts) -removed clutch fan -replaced driver's seat with Sparco Pro2000 -USDM front end replaced with Silvia front end -removed e-brake assembly (necessitated by braking upgrade) -removed spare (I live life on the EDGE! ![]() -removed all unnecessary bracketry -removed wheel well liners -removed flux capacitor Here's where I've added weight: -wheel/tire combo (despite the CEs/TEs each being 3/2lbs, respectively, lighter than stock, the much bigger tire increases the weight) -front DC Sports strut tower brace -Nams shakitto plates -Ultra Racing fender braces -Nismo TC bracket brace -Koyo radiator -Whiteline sways -SPL subframe and rear link braces -all the rear links -aftermarket FLCAs -coilovers with camber plates -VLSD diff cover I'm sure I forgot a couple things but that's about it. |
