I have been trying to get my cars weight down since I have had it. I recently acquired a digital scale and weighed everything I had. There are a few things I trashed or never had that I would like to know what they weigh. If someone could help me out there that would be great. I have removed an easy 250lbs so far but I don't know an exact # because of the missing weights. I will update this post with new findings as I get them. I also will include weights of various stock parts. I still have tons more stuff to remove. I have full intentions to have this car under 3K with me in it.

Sunroof 40lbs
2 AC Heat Under dash boxes (far right ones) 13.2lbs The Center Heater core I didnt weight but it was another few lbs, not super heavy.
AC compressor 17.2lbs
B- Shaft 2.4Lbs
Glove Box 8.5lbs
Radio 6Lbs
Tool Kit 1.5lbs
Jack 5Lbs
6 Speakers 8Lbs
Trunk Panels 10Lbs
Sunroof Brackets 4.5Lbs
Antenna 3Lbs
Fog Lights 3Lbs
Rear Belts 5.5Lbs

Trunk Sound deadening 4lbs
Rear toe hooks 6lbs
Rear bumper support brackets and bolts 2lbs
rear bumper support 40lbs

213.3 is the total of just the stuff I could weigh.

AC condenser and metal lines 4lbs Est
