What's your curb weight?

How many pounds have you guys been able to shed off your gk5's?

I'm guessing I'm around 200 pounds so far.

Removed Passenger seat, rear seats, spare tire, All the speakers and door panels, carbon fiber hood, lighter wheels and tires, lighter muffler, intake, header.
I might remove the AC eventually in the future.

Am sure mine's more or less the same as stock, only change I've made with something substantial size was put on a Tanabe axleback, and added the Progress rsb.....so, it's likely about the amount that the rsb weighs, although I've lost a lot of weight over the last year or so, so when I'm driving, it's lighter than with me driving it after I bought it....I know that's not "the weight of the car," but have lost about 50 lbs, so, that helps a lil, although I'll notice it more on my bicycle this spring, if I quit hurting myself. A mid-20lbs bike (guessing) will definitely notice a 50 lbs less load than a 2600 lb car, but, hey, every little bit counts

1.2-1.3% weight improvement. Congrats hope you're healthy .

I really want to go lightweight, but I also want to cover the whole interior with sound deadening mats. How much of a butt-dyno improvement does taking the back seats out really yield??

what did you do with the passenger seat belt? I was going to remove mine once and fretted that it would not pass tech... I am eventually going to gut my Fit and add a rollbar, coolsuit reservoir, and fire suppression system, no AC, no EGR, custom intake and exhaust. I'm also adding brake ducting. I've added a front spoiler and have a rear spoiler on order. I am hoping to be near 2200 with 1/4 tank of gas when all is done...
