2.5 Ze straight neck, blitz intake, mazdaspeed engine mounts, fidenza flywheel, CM II Clutch, KL-36 ecu, Magnecor 8mm Leads, Battery Relocation. Hotshot headers, 2.5 mandrel bent stainless exhaust, hi-flow cat, Speed hut dials, custom coilover set up. Custom willwood big brake conversion.
Yea im with you there, there seems to be no obvious heavy interior parts to remove. It would be nice to loose 60kg to get down to the magic 1000kg.
The rear glass must weigh a fair bit, side perspex windows wont save much more than a Double Cheese burger in weight. Rear seats weigh next to nothing, it would be nice to find some Mazda Concrete blocks added that just unbolt from the rear bumper, but lets face it....there are no real bulky items to be removed in the car.
With seats and interior stripped out you may lose 20kg.......with rear window maybe 10kg saved? spare wheel and jack weighs nothing. The stripped look has grown on me since Jap fest....
I think the best weight reduction has to be no passengers.......shave your chest, wear only boxer shorts and a small amount of hair product and i think you may hit 0-60 0.001 sec faster.
Any actual weight figures of MX stripped interior weight reduction?
