Factory Seat Weight [Merged 2-9]

[airbrat]

Curious... I have a driverside electric seat and I want to know if anybody out there knows how much they weigh.

Also, are the electric seats easy to remove?

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Alot and yes they are easy to remove.

I would guess at least 20lbs.

 

[Defiant]

I'd say at least double that, and they're a gyp, the power's only to the bottom, you gotta work the backrest like a damned slave, with your hand. Migod, stone knives and bearskins.

 

[SPEEDY]

I weighed my drivers side non electric leather seat at 41 lbs, and my passenger seat at 38 lbs.

I searched and this thread is the best match for my question so sorry to raise the dead. But does anyone have a clue what the factory 1g cloth seats weigh?

I remember seeing a page devoted to the mass of factory parts, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone have that link?

Here ya go. Someone on here weighed a bunch of items and also has a link in this thread to a Pro Street Online page (link for those too lazy to open the page - http://web.archive.org/web/20041106...online.com/pso/pages/techtips/dsmweights.asp).

I believe factory 2G cloth seats weigh in at around 40lbs a piece. The factory power leather driver seat weighs much more however.

 

[tbonitz301]

The 2g leather power seats are right around 80 lbs.

 

[spawn87]

well im not sure if thats how much the actual seat weights cause it says the shipping weight is 40 something

 

[SBstar]

Ooh look, my wiki is getting used!

2g OEM seats, cloth, no power 43lbs

[gsxtasy]

The 2g leather power seats are right around 80 lbs.

There is no way it weighs 80lbs. I just took mine out to install my wideband and they did not weigh 80 lbs. Now i have no idea what they did weigh, but it wasn't that.

same here..if anything 50- 60 lbs

 

[bpestilence]

I have the actual weights for the leather power seats. I have been documenting the weights of all the parts I have removed or replaced in the goal of making a lighterweight but not stripped Talon.

here goes:

Hood 38.4
Hatch (including wiper system, spoiler) 44.5
Hatch glass 22.84
Driver seat 46.21
Passenger seat 38.49
Cruise control motor, cables 2.43
Exhaust shield, aft 1.23
Stock battery 31.44

So far I have been able to shave 132# out of the car, with very little effort. CF hood and hatch, lightweight wheels (RPF1), Braille battery, 24# racing buckets (weight with suspension and sliders, which no seat manufacturer actually advertises), and pull out a few pointless parts.

My car already has the spare wheel removed, and did not come with stock wheels, either. If anyone has the precise weight for those pieces I would appreciate the info.

My next step is to delete the ABS, which should scrub significant weight (my ABS be broke anyways)

 

[MASMORE]

*** Are you guys including the bracket into this weight ratio!? I figure a total
weight net of 45lbs for the cloth seats w/adjustment settings (only in 95's)

 

[GofaST4life]

yeah theres no way a stock leather seat weighs 80lbs...maybe 55lbs, AT THE MOST...

dude, just take the seat out and weigh it, its four bolts...that way you have a definate number.

 

[Defiant]

........Driver seat 46.21
Passenger seat 38.49
..........................84.70

Looks pretty close to 80 to me.

My apologies, I thought we were talking about individual seat weights.

 

[pneumo]

I wanted to add one item that wasn't on the list.
1G front small rotors 10 lb each.
Upgrading from OEM small brakes to OEM twim piston big brakes adds ten pounds.

When we weighed them last week the leather/power 2G seats weighed in at 47lbs.

 

[Initial DSM]

I have a 1992 laser awd with cloth seats non power and i weighed the drivers seat last year i think it weighed 35 pounds ..does that sound right i know it wasn't 50 pounds like it says above (1ga drivers seat 50lbs. (cloth)

I have the 1G cloth drivers seat weighing 39 pounds, cloth passenger seat 35. 1g leather drivers seat 47 pounds. I like the cloth seats better because the leather seats let me slide around too much in corners.

I think laser seat are the lightest cause they dont have lumbar support ..they weight at 32 pounds for the drivers and pass seat same weight no differance
