Give me some time to add the rest of the stuff and hopefuly orginize it. I have to go throgh 600+ post lol

why are they repeated?

before you go through all those posts knuckleduster did a shortened version like you are about to do

Wipers/motor and wipers fluid tanks and motor are good for some weight this goes more for the NX

wow we have some lardy arse cars

Ahhh ok ill look into it

aren't these the same thing? if so there is a 3.8 lbs discrepancy in the weight

yeah thats what i was saying...hmmm

They are repeated because in the thread this is coming from there many many pages and posts different people posting. Sometimes they guesstimate the weights. It is a good general list, it shows you the really heavy stuff or lets you decide what you really think you need or are willing to part with.

Replace stock battery (37 pounds) with Autozone Duralast Miata battery 8AMU1R (19 pounds) for a savings of 18 pounds. Also saves room under the hood.

I've been using this battery for over a year on a daily driver with no problems.
