we were using 1500 lb car scale pads the 70 lbs is correct the sub weight might be off, as a portion of this.

Then post up the right info, ya jerk!

You had me all excited last night before we started yanking stuff out.

Great write-up though. Thanks for putting the info out here for everyone.

You can check the "Evo Updates" section on my site in my sig, under the weight loss update, I weighed everything. I need to do an update though, I took out all the belts and some other bits.

I think I can pull around a pound out of the front of the car. That Sirius receiver isn't doing anything.

I still love this thread, and its time for me to get to work on mine. 290whp in this car does not feel as fast as I would like.

I strictly bought the car on performance characterstics. I will rip it apart if it helps with acceleration

BTW i paid <30K for the car.

you need to remove your seatbelts, i took mine rear seatbelts out of my sti, they weighed 12.7 lbs. and they look useless in your car.

I was not that impressed with the sub...another reason I did not go for the SSS package. the only thing I really miss is the HIDs. I test drove one with the SSS and turned up the bass and was not that impressed. Figured I would just replace the speakers anyway and my wife was not happy with the smallish trunk to begin with.
