Hey guys,

Wondering what is the next best weight loss mod for a 03 RX?

I have CB perf alum A arms, sway, steering post. Next would be the monoshock (18lbs) then seat (6lbs) Then a diet for me (40lbs) LOL.

Exhaust seems like a lot of weight but I cant afford more noise, my days of loud exhaust and being harassed by people and police are over.

Anything else not too extreme like a tunnel or anything just basic things? Thanks
 
Not a major weight savings, but you can loose the 3 heat shields under the exhaust....the 05 never had them. Must be worth a couple of pounds and NIL $$ output!
 
Awesome thanks, coupel corrections though with the link ou provided

Do what I am doing to get weight off of my Viper. Go to the doctor and get a blood sample drawn for tryglycerides. have it come back 3x higher than the highest warning #, and trust me they will have you on a weight loss program.. Mine should yeild 80 lbs. Maxdlx
 
2003 RX-1 is closer to 605 lbs for weight fellas. Hate to burst anyone's bubble.
