How Much Weight can you REMOVE from your Car? (Weight Reduction)
How much weight can you remove from your car? Well in today's video we take weight reduction to the next level and find out!
I show you how much the seats weigh, how much the stuff in the trunk weighs, how much the carpets and sound deadening weigh, how much the plastic interior pieces weigh, how much the sunroof weighs, and finally how much the dash weighs.

Chris you forgot to take off the brakes, those will just slow you down.

Bravo my friend, bravo 👏🏼

ok that was funny
Hahah
The clips didn’t break because they knew you weren’t reusing them.
The absolute truth
Ahaha that made me laugh so hard 😂
Good stuff 🤣👍
Hell yeah!
Facts! 🤣🤣🤣
Just a disclaimer for anyone who doesn’t know: DONT immediately go to remove an airbag after disconnecting a battery and thinking it’s disarmed. I’m sure you’ve mentioned it in previous videos but airbags are linked to capacitors that can store the circuit energy and keep the bag live. It’s always Good practice to wait 15 to 30 minutes after disconnecting the battery to let the capacitor dissipate the electricity elsewhere first.
Here's a tip that came straight from the Honda dealer during the airbag recall nonsense. Take you're battery terminal cables after you have removed the battery and just hold them together to complete the circuit after about 1 minute all the capacitors should be discharged. I got that response after I made a terrible joke about the airbag blowing up in the techs face the moment he touched it.

Love your content btw, followed your stuff on and off for years (Still need to watch that light scratch removal one regularly 😂), great to see you push things even further with full on endurance racing!
Hell, may as well remove the body too
I was waiting for the removal of unnecessary items under the hood.
Ha ha!
We really under appreciate how Chris lays everything out so nicely for like 40 seconds of talking. Like that’s 400 pounds of stuff you nicely place just to showcase its really awesome

I've done it myself, so I can feel the hardships, but it feels good to watch it in a simple and shortened way!
I will probably never have to do any of the stuff you show, but you make it so accessible and entertaining to watch. I liked learning about the dry ice, and seeing the car get gutted. I'm curious about how much weight will be added back with the cage.

Facts!
Weight reduction is basically telling a car “ u won’t be needing this “
well apparently my brain does the same thing for everything that i learn...
u don’t need ur fingers *chop* 😂
@@ned407 u won’t need ur spinal cord
Lmao exactly
"or this or this or this or this"
Discovered you from this video about a week ago and you instantly inspired me to start my own project! Can’t wait to explore the rest of your videos!!
Quick side note: the biggest reason your braking distance is garbo at the start is because you have bad tires. You can see they are fully locked and you are skidding. You can also hear wheel slip on your launches. Upgrading tires alone will significantly improve your performance
That “fastener” holding in front of the carpet behind the clutch is actually the clutch stop. Make sure you reinstall that to prevent any possible damage to the clutch system.
This needs to be seen
I’m sure he did after but thank you that’s good to know
man needs to see dis
Hopefully he has done seen this lol
i broke mine, how important is it? What can happen if i dont have one?

you heard me, officer.
I was really impressed with this video and I’m not even in the market for reducing my car’s weight. I was just curious about what the process was like. I think you do a great job of balancing the technical depth and the pace of the video. I never felt like you were wasting my time or leaving out anything important.
Seeing great people like you succeed and being able to do what they love, really makes me happy, too!
I usually shave every hair on my body and race entirely naked for weight reduction purposes

Excellent work, Chris. I like the way you narrate rather than real-time audio,
Best mechanic ever
You can also remove the indicators, no one who drives a BMW uses them.😂😂
ye same. my 3 series is sick
And the speedo
Honestly I don't know why is this the case for BMW drivers. Because I just got a MINI and the indicators are amazing. Subtle and deep clicking sound for indicator sound. What even makes it the best indicator system I've tried is that the indicator goes two clicks each direction. click them once and the indicator indicates 3 or 5 times depending on your settings you selected. This is such a useful feature when I want to change lanes and not have to manually stop the indicator. I just set it to indicate 5 times, so that I let it indicate three times while driving in my lane and then start changing lane while the last 2 indicates are going. Perfect lane change with seamless effort.
@@AlbaderBohamad They just don't want to use them because they are inconsiderate I guess
True
I like how he doesn’t bullshit and gets straight to point unlike other youtubers
Always appreciate when people make videos like this. I don't need to listen to 15 minutes of backstory and 10 minutes of unrelated channel updates, merch advertising, plugging their patreon, etc. that shit is so annoying
right on the money
*clicks on how to change tire video* hey guys it's every KZheadr nowadays, tires are important. They are round which is good for rolling. They are filled with air which reduces turbulence. They are rubbery which is good for traction and breaking. They have rims which is good for showing off. They are black which is good for racists to learn to coexist. They are attached to the breaks which is good for stopping. There is four of them which is good for balance. So if your tire is damaged or missing you should really consider changing the tire. In today's video I'm gonna be teaching you the top 10 best ways to change a tire. So let's not waste anyone's time and get right to it but first don't forget to bosh that like button before you see weather or not this video was actually informative and even more importantly smash that subscribe button, I make these videos not for a chance at passive income nor grocery store level fame but because I read some guide to making these cookie cutter youtube videos and have my moms nice Camara. And don't forget to click the bell so your phone will piss you off more than it does. Okay so lets jump right into the video no lenghty intros on this channel. First thing you want to do is identify the 4 tires on your car. Then you want to check their psi. You do this buy taking your car to a mechanic and having them use their special psi tool that looks like a flute. Check your owners manual for the psi you're car desires. Usually its about 55 psi. If they are below that change them for new ones. Dont cheap out and buy used. Now that your new tire arrived in the mail. Fill it to 55 psi. Jack up your car, pull old tire off (doesn't show the 1 detail you were looking for). And that's it. Now you can drive around with a rounded tire car. If you somehow made it this far without hitting the back button please like and subscribe to my channel for more cookie cutter how tos overly long and hardly helpful. That's the way the cookie crumbles...
@@andrewg5235 did you just write the entire script of those youtubers it looks like no one is safe from people finding their extremely long scripts
But also, in the end, it's like what's the point?
I’ve watched this video 3 times already, you do such a good job!
Cant wait till we get to the engine beaty covers and all that excess lbs.! Always thankful for you sharing your knowledge! Makes me a safer, smarter, and better backyard mechanic.
I like how Chris seems to think we're all building race cars also.
I could see how he might think that considering the videos title.
@Regdu Geht 🤣🤣🤣
Are you not?
Well I mean I am so it’s helpful
I like tho how it could've been like 3 min vid of just pictures of him removing and then the weight. But by this way we can see how cars are put together!
Remove the blinkers, you don't need them as a BMW driver.
wow
See what’s funny is you aren’t even wrong
The fucking truth!

There is no blinkers there already. They mount unfunctional spacers at the factory.

For some reason, the wires to these speakers were already disconnected. BMW: They were connected, but since you did not pay for the $5,000 sound system upgrade, we disconnected them.
Seems about right 😂

@@Agent-nw3it I see coordinating hand moments in some shots!
@@sensiblewheels Still voice-over. With 10 hours of work per minute of the video, it's called perfectionism.
When you take the last owner route, there is so much lightness you can add. Not all at once, but as you need access for replacement and/or repair. Dry ice is a hot tip.
I never watched a car disassembling. Was very interesting. Also very good editing and exactly showing what going on :)

Despite all that work and substantial weight reduction, average acceleration time improved by less than 1 second. I'd be quite disappointed if I had a car to do. Though the braking improved a lot.
@@wizzard5442 gained nearly a second of acceleration from a 10% weight loss, thats a bug improvement with the same amount of power.
@@wizzard5442 Think fuel consumption.

@Tomato Sauce No. My first car, a baby blue 71 Opel, takes that award. Best birth control device known to man.
True. I used to have a 2011 Camry that was sonically beautiful, music sounded so good in it, couldn't hear much outside. Then I got a 2016 and it was noisy as hell. Even going through the car wash, sounded like a tin can rattling with some change in it and the sound of the music sucked too. Completely different than the 2011.
My old Yaris was so loud on motorway that I used noise canceling headphones on longer drives. But those old 1.3l Toyota engines never consumed motor oil.

I rolled my 2005 Prius in 2016. By the grace of God, I walked away with no broken bones. Had the car towed to my house, then spent the next few days removing everything from the ac vents to the visors, radio, sunglasses holder, door panels, actuators, covers for the tweeters, glove compartment, rear hatch panel and electric latch actuator, window/door lock controls, cup holders, power button, airbags, hybrid battery, etc. etc. etc. I then organized everything, took pictures and posted everything on ebay. Absorbed a lot of the cost from totaling the car without full coverage. And it was pretty satisfying knowing everything was being put to use and not wasting away in a junkyard in the rain
@Type Writer Simply cut it off and sell it on ebay of course!
If you would have cut the catalytic converters off of it about four to six months ago the right person those would have brought you $1,800 hope you didn't scrap the car and leave the Converters on it because they're still worth well over 1,300 right now...!!!!
and I could use a good engine
@@motersickel there’s no way. I can buy a brand new (off brand but Prius compatible) catalytic converter off eBay for $150 I just looked it up and holy shit. That’s crazy. I parted my old Prius out about 6 years ago so I doubt it was worth near as much. My current Prius has a clogged catalytic converter. Wonder is that effects value. I know they’re wanted for the rhodium and platinum not for the function of the apparatus themselves. Also, the engine on my wrecked Prius had nearly 300k miles

LAN Master wait when did that happen?
Good video Chris. Reminds me of something we used to say, among the pir crews, running charger class at the local track. Grams equal ounces, and ounces lead to pounds. People woild ask why id dig the broken clios out, after panel removal, until we set up the 84 Monte Carlo, for the backup car. Took all the smalls, and zeroed the scale with the bucket. Came to just under 8 pounds. Also slimmed our driver down by 37 pounds. All told, ar had to be between 2500 and 3200 pounds with the driver. Got it down to 3922, with TJ in full gear, in the driver's seat. Thanks for the memories of my misspent youth. Wife and a couple friends have been trying to talk me into a Lemons event, and located a 94 Taurus, rough, but a good runner. That project will begin Saturday morning. Already have a name, team Some Assembly Required, given that we have 2 organ recipients, and myself, an above knee amputee, as drivers. She's the only one not running replacement, or aftermarket, parts. Also goong to hydro dip my old socket, gold and black carbpn fiber, distressed look. And yes. I will be rocking shorts in the pits. Will update once refistered, to let your viewers know which one we'll be running. After 3 of us came close to not being here, it's time to celebrate being alive, by actually living.

Dry ice works better if you use it with isopropyl alcohol. It allows for better conduction so you don’t have to wait as long you can also scoop and pour it onto spots where dry ice wouldn’t stay on its own like the sides of the transmission tunnel.

He already got new wheels
1 pound would be at max 4 pounds, but that only depend on the distance from the center, if you remove a nut for example wont change much but if you change the tyres it would be the max difference

They have software now so you can easily clone your OS onto the new drive. Everyone likes a fresh install but man that's soooooo much easier. I cloned both my drives. Maybe test your drives with Sentinal to see how much longer you got left, might need to do it soon since some SSD's fall apart quick. And get a cheap HDD dock for your spare drives.

You rock dude ❤
Thanks fo including metric units.
Imagine when it's the day for the race, Chris will be surprised because everyone have the same car as his because everyone watches his videos 🤣
Hopefully not with that same clunky transmission...
I always had a e46 I’m glad Chris got one now I got the best tutorial to follow
E46 was the last good bmw. Prove me wrong.
I like how the “intimidator” battery came out of a Prius
Don’t hate,appreciate🤷♂️
Well there has to be at least something intimidating in a Prius 😂. . No hate, hybrid is Future even of I lovey Gas and Diesel engines
Was a red Prius
You're my best youtuber by far
For some reason I was thinking you'd have to weld in sheet metal but of course that delete kit makes perfect sense
Plot twist: The welder welds in a 430lb roll cage.
It’s about 130-150lbs
HAHAHAHAHA
Yeah but that sh*t will save your life on the track
2940 lbs + 430 lbs would still be better than 3370 lbs + 430 lbs
Haha. But recoup that with a carbon body kit and light weight wheels 👌

RIP tires, brakes etc..
I remember back then when I even stripped unused audiocables from my s13. Forum said: "its way more easy to safe some kg simply by working out, man" :D
I feel a lot of people including myself would benefit from a video on dry starts
Take a shot every time Chris says “sound deadening”
Sounds deadening...
13:10 🥴
Sound loudening.
It stopped sounding like a real word after a while
I gave up after the third shot. XD
Chris : So removing this... is pretty simple Us : Everything is simple for Chris
its not so difficult, you just have to do it
If I made it as light as possible, I would also replace all the glass with plastic. You no longer have to worry about pieces of glass and you can strip even more.
This video was so satisfying
Well as someone once said, "If it ain't the engine, take it off"
ya gotta get to fast to furious......oh and family
The guy who removed the steering wheel: ‘I see this as an absolute win!’
So leave only the engine?
@@manuj2868 could probably use a plastic toy one? Just add some wires or something.
@@alexrosado3890 exactly. Just leave the engine, and take it off. Panels, doors, windows. Heck, take even the battery out.
Finally the budget "racecar" is back.
This is my most favorite video of you.
You could gain a lot of performance by changing the rims for magnesium ones o carbon fiber, also redesigning the bushing of the wheel (I don't know if spelled it correctly) making it of titanium and with an optimal geometry. With this things acceleration might increase a lot due to the unsprung mass of the car. Also other improvements might be replacing metal parts such as the hood fora a carbon fiber or glass fiber ones, and removing unnecessary things for competing such as the air conditioner pump
