Over the last few years I've been waging a war against my car's portliness. I've shaved hundreds of pounds and using both 4-wheel scales and a more sensitive postal scale I've weighed just about everything I have that I've removed for some reason while working on the car. In the hopes that someone will find some of the information useful I've decided to post my findings here.
Absolutely nothing on the list is conjecture or guessing; I have weighed every single part listed. Except for the few parts too heavy for my postal scale (ie a steel hood and assembled diff) all items have been weighed the same postal scale to eliminate variation between scales. The heavier items have all been weighed on the same pad of my 4-wheel scales.
Note that if it isn't on this list I don't have the weight, so don't ask. If people want to expand this list with their own findings, all the better, though if your scales and my scales differ there will of course be conflicting information. All items, unless otherwise specified, were removed from a 95 SC. So in no particular order...
