It a drum of shit with a pump that flows through a hose to a brush that you scrub your parts with as the solution is sprayed onto the part a PB Blaster knock-off + scotch brite The 3rd one worked the best, by far. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_sharp Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 glove box weight - 2.5lbs Does not affect functionality at all. Still opens and closes completely normal... I seriously think this has to do with safety rather than weight balance of the glove box. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 random steel bracket between glove box and cabin air filter. I forgot to weigh the 3 screws with it so add 0.05kg 0.65lbs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 added some suspension bits. I'll be weighing the actual swaybars later today. If all goes well with install, I'll have the stock parts weighed tomorrow or Friday. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saffarco Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 From my humble estimation and based on weight/power ratio calculation: Removing 100kg(220lbs) from a 3.0r Legacy (stock weight =1490kg(3284lbs) without a driver) gives a correlated/simulated hp gain of 17.625 hp. Not necessarily though as there are couple of factors involved, but I believe it's a good way to estimate it. 1490kg/245hp= 6.0816 (1490kg-100kg)/245hp= 5.6734 New correlated hp= 1490kg/5.6734= 262.625hp Interior stuffs alone gives this easily!

ClimberDHexMods Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 dr sharp yes it's a crash plate, on both sides (for the driver and passenger). saffarco, 220lbs just on interior bits!?!? Obligatory 'better for all directions, and for gas mileage, not just horsepower.'

dr_sharp Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 What would make someone destroy their own hard work and punish a community as some sort of perceived retributive strike against the forum or an individual is beyond me. Wonder what happened. I liked the guy. There was no hard work involved in anything I did here. You can all easily replicate the efforts I put forth. Or just use the internet like teh guy above did After years of searching for ways to reduce weight I finally found the most efficient weight savings of all: remove the oil from the engine - that crap is heavy and not needed at all. Also, if anybody needs/wants the weights I still have an excel spreadsheet, just PM me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
