Ever since I started "adding lightness" to my car, I've been weighing parts individually (when possible) as they come off the car. All weights are believed to be accurate, and were taken using a bathroom scale using the "weigh yourself, then hold the part and weigh yourself again" method. Everything was checked three times to ensure the scale read accurately every time. All parts are from an R32 gtst type M. All weights are in pounds. For lighter parts, I simply grouped parts together.
If you've weighed any of these parts and had different numbers show up, let me know so that I can weigh parts again if necessary.
I figure this might help some people out who are interested in removing parts from their car to "add lightness". If you have any part weights feel free to add them to the thread or PM me and I'll add them to this main post. Hopefully someone finds this useful!
