    How much does that weigh? (Mirage part weight list)

    Some of us want to know what things weigh. Be it for performance or fuel economy or just general geekiness, we want to know!

    That's what this thread is for. If a moderator wants to try to keep it organized and maybe maintain a list in the first post, I won't complain. I'm not likely to do so myself, however.

    Loose rules: +/- half a pound is fine for most things. If it's something that weight matters a lot on (like wheels), +/- a tenth pound is preferred. And if it's something that weighs less than say 8-10 pounds, a tenth is preferred. Most digital bathroom scales are either .5 or .1 accuracy. For better than that, you need a postal scale or a kitchen scale. (just don't tell my wife that I weigh car parts on her kitchen scale)

    In no particular order, here are some things that I've weighed:

    Body / Exterior:
    The whole car: 2057# (this is a 2015 Mirage DE 5-speed, and this is with an added rear swaybar and coilover kit... so, +/- 20 pounds?)
    Corner weights: (taken with the weight above) Front: 573/648, Rear: 362/474
    Rear Wiper Assembly: 1.7#
    Hood: 20.5 pounds including the insulation and washer hoses and jets


    Suspension:
    Front Swaybar: 5.9#
    Front Swaybar End Links & Brackets: 1.5#


    Brake
    2015 Front Rotor - 7.55 pounds - 229mm (9") OD
    2015 Caliper Bracket - 1.22 pounds
    2017 Front Rotor - 9.12 pounds - 251mm (9.9" OD)
    2017 Caliper Bracket - 1.45 pounds
    Brake Pads, one wheel (barely worn at 20k miles) - 0.91 pounds
    Brake Caliper - 4.38 pounds
    Caliper Pins - 0.26 pounds
    Brake Hose - 0.35 pounds


    Interior
    Shift Knob: 120g
    Rear Seat Headrests: 1.1 pounds each
    Floor Mats (set): 4 pounds
    Jack: 3.3 pounds

    Spare Tire: 19.1 pounds
    Left Headrest: 1.1 pounds
    Right Headrest: 1.1 pounds
    Left Seat Back (includes center seatbelt reel and brackets): 13.7 pounds
    Right Seat Back (includes brackets): 11.2 pounds
    Seat Back Bottom Bolts (6): 0.4 pounds
    Seat Back Latching Posts (with 6 bolts): 1.0 pounds
    Left Seatbelt Reel (with 3 bolts): 2.2 pounds
    Right Seatbelt Reel (with 3 bolts): 2.2 pounds
    Seatbelt Buckles (3, with 3 bolts): 1.3 pounds
    Spare Tire Cover & Carpet: 3.2 pounds
    Cargo Cover: 1.4 pounds


    Engine / Drivetrain
    Battery: 34# (this is a Toyota replacement battery, OE Mitsu may be slightly different)
    Transmission (including upper trans mount and bracket): 73#
    Engine (all accessories removed, no manifolds, fuel rail or coil packs): 112#
    Intake Manifold & Fuel Rail: 7#
    AC Compressor: 9#
    Alternator: 10.5#
    Flywheel: 15.1#
    Pressure Plate: 6.0#
    Clutch Disk: 1.6#
    Crankshaft Pulley/Damper: 2.8#
    Exhaust Manifold Assy w/ Pre-Cat = 9.9 lbs
    Exhaust from Pre-Cat Back (including 2nd Cat) = 18.5 lbs
    SuperCircuit Header = 5.5 lbs
    Battery Tray: 2.8 pounds (shelf, plastic tray and tie-down)
    Stock wheels/tires: 25.4 pounds
