This is a quote I read a few years ago on a forged wheel website. Whether it is true or not im unsure.
Every pound of unsprung weight savings has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20lb
Are you running a h165? Disk or drum rear end? Alloy H165 diff carrier. If you still have drums go to 240z style finned alloy drums. Wilwood front calipers What wheels are you running?
I know a guy who spent a whole weekend putting the holesaw through unstructural parts of his Datsun after a reshell to end up with a bucket weighing 1-2kg from memory.
Very interesting thread!
