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>)

Do you have a target weight?

[shake]

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?

[shake]

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?
