^^ I'll just list the weights for you guys and you can take your own directions with what parts you can happily go without.
A/C Compressor 7.4kg
A/C Compressor Engine Block Bracket 3.2kg
Rest of A/C equipment in engine bay 7.3kg (not including wiring or, tensioner bearing and belt<my car was missing these 2 parts>)
Some good numbers there 17.9kg
update your first post to include complete list so far?
Excellent thread, thanks!
Exhaust heat shield, behind fuel tank 0.4kg
Power steering pump & bracket 3.7kg
Power steering cooler 0.8kg
Power steering lines, from cooler to reservoir inc hardware and reservoir 1.1kg
Approx 1L of hydraulic fluid 1.0kg
7.0kg
As far as my calculations go thats 91.2kg thus far.
Do you have a target weight?
No real target weight.
I started with the plans to remove all the dead weight and rebuild the engine with dual webers DCOE/delortos DHLA, but I brought a cheap donor car and plans have been altered accordingly.
Still just picking off everything that I don't intend to use.
Front factory tow points 0.8kg
Carbon canister 0.9kg
any plans for the power windows? mirrors are easy, i wonder what the window motors weigh? thoughts on manual conversion and estimated weight saving?
I'll definitely have to look into the mirrors. Not sure about the windows, manual windows are a pain with roll cage bars.
Great thread, when i start my ED project i can print out your list and count the kilos coming off as i throw shit in the bin..
What is a fully stripped EG compared to ED weigh? anyone got rough figures?
I'd guess the eg would be only 30-50kg heavier stripped.
Front inner guards 1.4kg
Horn 0.3kg
Window washer bottle (half full) 1.8kg
Rear guard lip protectors 0.3kg
Upper Steering Column shroud + coin tray + Fuse cover (under steering wheel) 0.4kg

Heater core vent ducts and box 4.3kg
