I'm sure we could get weights of a full stock MR2 turbo somewhere else and reverse engineer what I have removed and what's on the list.

Regarding the dash: the wires to run most everything alone were 30 lbs. I weighed those and I figure with that and pulling the heater tubes / ac stuff up there I lost about 100 lbs right there - actually I'm pretty sure of it. My list is pretty complete until that stage and if I look I'm sure I can find where I wrote it down. ALSO the car is still caged and that was about 150 lbs there. I could gut the passenger door as well. I wish I had been this meticulous later on...sorry eventually I had to get the work done - I figured 99% of what a "normal" person would pull out of a normal street car was listed.

I will be cutting EVERYTHING out of the trunk. It will be a shell of a trunk when I'm done with a fiberglass lid. Moving wing to mount up by shock tower / roll bars.
