Gutted vert hardcore...Guess how much weight is shaved off
Anybody want to guess how much weight i removed before I weigh? my vert went on a major diet, and im going to take pictures and what not later.. and weigh all the **** as well. But here is what I have done.
Removed AC (all lines and components)
Removed PS
Removed both door panels
Removed ALL carpet and insulation and sound deadening
Removed all the plastic from the back.
Removed Jack from trunk, along with spare tire, wood panel, and all plastic panels from back and in trunk
Cut out metal tire mount (angle grinder)
Removed top motors
Cut out metal Mounts that the top motors were on.
Cut out two metal panel brackets.
Removed center console
You can see straight back into the trunk if you look back.
That about sums it up, i have a big *** pile of crap in my garage. Im going to have a SC'd drift vert.
feel free to guess weight, ill post official results later.

Remove bumpers and gut doors!
Air pump? Stereo? Aluminium hood? Fiberglass fenders? Light wheels?
Windshield?
An ultralight vert would be cool.
SC will add back some weight, though.

Forget where I got this pic, but it looks frickin' awesome!

Yeah I have dropped some weight in my vert. But when I did a t2 swap I just added more. But you started in the right place with the doors. Yeah I kept power steering but dropped the radio. I am not really that worried about dropping weight anymore. I can just run more boost with a better turbo if I need to makeup for power to weight ratio.

The vert seats are probably 50 lbs. each.
