^I am skeptical because I have removed everything you speak of before and do not remember a;

Day 1 - 13 Nov. 2008  
Lightened by 120 lbs

- carpets
- spare tire
- rear seats, seatbelts
- antenna, motor
- rear speakers, mounting brackets
- jack

weighing even half that

but hey I must have removed like 300lbs from my s14, by your math;

floor tar, Air, Airbags, carpet, rear seats, JDM rebar,

I left a full size spare and jack though.

**wiki; S13:**

headunit, speakers, and rear speaker brackets - 15.4lbs

driver and passenger door panels - 11.8lbs

back seats - 20.8lbs

hatch wall carpeting, plastic rear speaker panels, and rear floor mats - 20.6lbs

rear wiper, motor, grommet, and blade - 3.0lbs

jack tools, jack cover cardboard, random gray foam pads - 6.4lbs

rear strut covers, miscellaneous brackets & stuff - 2.8lbs

shift boot & panel - 0.6lbs

hatch area carpeting - 3.2lbs

A/C compressor, condenser, reservoir, & some piping - 29.2lbs

spare tire & wheel - 28.0lbs

firewall mat - 18.8lbs

sunroof glass - 11.5lbs

**Total of pounds lost - 377.9**

did you remove the dash and unnecessary ish inside?

sunroof glass? your 23lbs lighter than this list with extra 11.5lbs of glass? and without the 19lbs of ABS unit/bracket?

but hey scales are open saturdays, go to a garbage dump, scrap metal recyler, transport truck scales,

still skeptical - I have loved my 240 longer then most members have had a license (1999)
