8 pounds of bolts?!?!?

Those are some heavy ass bolts!


Have you looked into titanium bolts for the rest of the car? I can imagine a lot more weight savings there

I weigh it periodically but it's very close to being under 3000. It's about 3010 right now but I haven't weighed it in a while. Last weigh in was 3120

In the Balto-Wash area scrap yards/recyclers have scales. I've heard of people "dropping off stuff" in order to get their car weighed.

100% sure I'm below 3014lbs. I've always been within 7lbs of my estimates and I go to a scrap metal yard in Canton/Baltimore to confirm my estimates.

You are sponsored by MasterCard,Visa or what ever company you use

Waste of money to buy titanium bolts. Get a smaller battery.

Hmmm, I have a brand new 21 lb Deka battery sitting around, unopened. I ordered it when I thought my 21lb Braille was dying, but it turned out to be just fine.
