THE LIGHTWEIGHT PARTS THREAD by Kingofimports.com - Page 2

WRXRATED7 · 03-01-2005, 09:41 PM

I'm curious about the weight differences for different trunks/wings. I've considered importing a JDM Spec C trunk. I know they're aluminum. Anyone have any knowledge on this? Do you know the weight differences?

**Nivek** · 03-06-2005, 01:05 PM

If I recall correctly it was at least half of the weight if not 1/3, but I no longer have the email with specs. I have one coming in a few weeks, so when it gets here I can weight it and post it up.

you getting more than one, Niv??

**Nivek** · 03-06-2005, 02:46 PM

I can if you want. I can quote prices from Japan to here, but the shipping to individual locations (w/o measurements of the boxes) will be difficult. If you are really interested, drop me a PM.

I'd be interested, of course depending on price

. Do these come already painted, and would the holes be identical to our STi wing? If I recall don't the Spec C's have a different wing (carbon fiber), which would then have diff bolt holes?

**KingofImports.com** · 03-07-2005, 09:50 AM

Spec C trunk comes with holes for the wrx style wing. I do not believe it is carbon fiber. YOu might be thinking of the Spec C Type RA. I am still confirming whether what I was told (that the spec c trunk is available with no holes and holes for the sti wing) is actually the case.

im prolly going w/ a wing similar to stock, so the 'erector set' type isnt what im after....

Some of us in CA were thinking about bringing in the syms cf rear spoiler.

esemes · 03-07-2005, 10:07 AM

PLEASE dont say anymore on that...

you're ruining my surprises!!lolol

(exactly my plan, if tax returns are favourable......)

ese

(just the CF-blade and new sides, no lower piece, as it uses the oem lower base, right?)

**KingofImports.com** · 03-07-2005, 10:09 AM

yes

With the trunks, I will probably order a few and see what the duties run on them. The price is the same as it is here before shipping from Japan.

esemes · 03-07-2005, 10:25 AM

complete trunklid, with the oem lower base, and the symms sides/carbon adj. blade....

Would someone who can get the real deal JDM STi Spec C trunk post up a price? I'm very interested depending on price.

stiholic anom. · 04-24-2005, 09:42 PM

stock 04 subframe 25 lbs (removed and weighed on digital scale)

**Nivek** · 04-24-2005, 10:01 PM

Weighed stock seats again and they weighed almost 50 lbs. Did not get an exact measurement.

**Digitalfiend** · 05-04-2005, 05:39 PM

Anyone know what the complete air conditioning assembly weighs? Besides getting sweaty, are there any other side effects of removing it? I know the defrost function uses the A/C by default but I find it nearly as effective without the A/C (and you don't lose the power.)
