Some fine tweaking this week on the coils, I'm at 20 in the front and 17 in the rear. I think the rear is good. Gonna try 21 in the front just to make sure, but she feels really good and balanced right now. Absorbs the bumps really well, OEM like just a little stiffer, no body roll just a slight lean, corners / accelerates / brakes flat. Very daily street compliant with sporty handling, wish we had some twisties here in south FL.

I'll try to do another video soon, been busy with our first ever house hunt 
Couple random shots, found a cousin the other day:
Wish I didn't need my back seat, weighs a few pounds for sure, easy to take out without the bottom though, been driving like this for a couple of weeks now:
Setting the dampers in the back is as easy as turning the dial once the back seat is out:
I think I have it just the way I like it. Back seat should be going back in soon

I hope you really like the sound of gasoline being push around in the tank during braking lol. I used to drove my legend with no radio, center console and back seat for couple days and I have to say the weight loss can be felt through acceleration and cornering.

Yeah you do hear some funky noises back there without the seats lol
If only I could remove another ~200lbs off this car without losing features or $$ on light weight seats, man it would be sweet.

So far I've done:
8.0 AEM V2 CAI
2.0 RV6 HFPCs
6.5 RV6 V3 J-Pipe
17.0 Front Bumper
16.0 Rear Bumper
21.0 Braille 17lb Battery
30.0 Spare Tire Delete
16.8 Spec Lightweight Flywheel
8.0 ISC N1 Coils
7.0 UR Lightweight Pulley
6.0 Engine Bay Panels
2.0 Engine Cradle Damper
2.5 Glovebox Plate Delete
2.0 Owner's Manual
1.8 Hood Insulation
146.6 lbs TOTAL
Most of the weights I got off the TL diet thread, some off other threads here or on v6performance, and a couple I measured myself. I don't have weights for my rv6 exhaust vs the OEM one, or the XLR8 mounts. I'm sure I'll find more stuff to do as time goes on. Take it with a grain of salt, I wasn't worried about any kind of QA check on accuracy, but I figure it's more or less accurate to a point.

^^^ LOL, no brother, I'm not doing that. It has plenty of torque, it runs just great.
I did take some new pics this afternoon and posted them in my thread in Car Talk!
