Evening bodders.... :duffer:

 

I have started a mission to loose as much weight on me Z as possible.

All within reason as its not a race car :cry:

I need to keep the rear seats(luckily there only foamy sh#t)

The rear spoiler must weigh some but it needs to stay.

I know some items like c/f bonnet for std Z bonnet is not alota difference but it all adds up :dance:

 

of course most of this is eliminated as soon as i put any GoGo juice in and i cant get any thinner than i am already but it all helps.

 

Please add ideas to the list to help me on my way...Chunk has already contributed(CheerZ :cool: ) so i have included these:-

 

Remove :-

 

speakers

Headunit

Cruise control

AIV's

HICAS (complete removel)

Rear Wiper + motor

weights in boot lid

Boards & carpet in boot

Foot mats

 

Fit/Change:-

 

Pully set

Lightweight Flywheel

Electric seat out...non-electric seat in

Sub conversion (removes large rear boot glass window with tiny piece)

C/F tailgate would be excellent as it weigh's a Ton (ever moved one?) :headvswal :)

Didn't GM make some for there 3rd Gen F-Bird's and Cameros and they used to lose shape and crack due to the sun after a few year's? :(

Empty the AshTray :D

Light Weight battery is 1 hell of a mod and is something i'll be offering very soon, weight savings are massive ;)

 

I'd be interested in this. Mine has wrong battery fitted anyway... keep me updated :D

remove paint :p

try extra-light alloys - eg, superlites

 

front no. plate surround

 

lighter rear-view mirror

 

boot blind weighs a ton

 

spacesaver is heavy

 

ditch tools and wooden floor pieces.

 

use lighter carpet

 

scrape out bitumen from floor

 

pedals look heavy for their size- replace with Al ones ?

 

bonnet catch is not essential and is solid metal - replace with lighter one or string to hold bonnet up ??

 

dry sump and change oil frequently - power and weight benefits

 

rear seatbelts weigh >1kg each - if not used, ditch along with rear seats

 

headlight washers are useless

The Carbon fiber bonnets actually weigh more than the standard Z bonnet. + if you take one standard Z bonnet to cool luvres and have some groovy holes cur or a load of luvres you'll save weight.
