    Cool Turbo Caravan Weight Reduction, Compiled Individual Part Weights

    I want to compile the weight of parts that can be removed for weight reduction from a turbo caravan. Like what the stock exhaust weighs, carpet and insulation, seats, a/c, etc.

    If you guys have the weights for certain parts post em up.




    I am using a $7 Walmart scale, so the numbers probably won't be perfect.

    A/C: Compressor 14lbs, Misc Bolts/Brackets 2 lbs, Hosing/Canister 6lbs, Condensor 6lbs, Fan 2lbs, a/c Main Bracket 4lbs -non a/c bracket 1lb. =33 lbs total
    Rear seats: middle 60lbs, rear 100lbs =160lbs total
    Spare Tire: 44lbs
    Foam insulation from doors/hatch: 1lb
    Dense insulation under carpet: rear 17lbs, wheel wells 7lbs, front 13lbs =37lbs total
    Rear Wiper/Washer assembly:
    Unused seat hook downs/bolts:

    Exhaust heat shields:
    One of 2 horns:
    Front windshield washer assembly:
    Balance Shaft internals:

    Total weight reduction from stock for drag day setup: 194+44+37=275lbs total

    That insulation under the carpet is heavy. Heaven forbid it ever gets wet. Don't ask how I know.

    Im surprised the middle bench is only 60. I weighed the rear one at one point because I was shocked I could barely lift it (partly it's just awkward to hold) but I too came up with 100 lbs.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?
