FULLY GUTTED FOCUS ST - HOW MUCH DOES IT WEIGH?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
So if you've ever wondered how much a fully gutted Focus ST weighs, this is your answer! When I say fully gutted, I mean fully gutted. I have been wondering how heavy my car is for a very long time so I decided to find out. With everything that has been removed, I was hoping it would actually make a difference. The weight loss definitely made the car feel faster but I never knew how much it actually weighed. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for doing the leg work on this. JST claims there is 25lbs of weight in removable wiring in their blog. Make front/rear race crash bars and you'd probably gain a good extra chunk. 2800 lbs no driver is damn good for easy removal items.
Love the channel 👌 one thing tho, a driver only weighs 50lbs?😂

That ST will FLY!!! Weighing that much 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow this is kinda the way I'm going for with mine... Thanks for the video
Thanks for another video broo.
It shows how much work it takes to shave weight! Super cool project though. Awesome car.
Hm.. I have a 02 zx3 (full rebuild, with turbo) i did this too, wonder what it would weigh now. Everything including airbags are out. Drum to disc conversion (12 lbs a side) aftermarket suspension and whatnot. originally 2,598 lbs full interior with spare. Thats a lot of weight savings and makes a good difference.
I got a zx4 I plan on stripping down, car currently sits @2750lbs. Looking into alt. To lexan like even more of a diy job myself. Maybe acrylic sheets maybe plexiglass rough cut. Honestly thought you would drop more weight with everything you removed but I bet it hauls ass still with what you took out.
Very good video 👌have you considered removing the rear doors and panel welding shut.

Every town dump has a weigh station too!! Just tryin to help in case someone needs to weigh and can’t find a place.
Awesome now a days that is very light anyway and with you and fuel lol that’s crazy
You can shave off another 30-40 lbs by going with the grimmspeed mini battery kit

Also consider relocating the battery to the boot. Better weight distribution, more space in the engine bay and it doesnt expose the battery to toasty engine bay temps so prolongs the life of it.
Your telling me u ruined that st for 320lb loss? 3350 to 2980....

The new station off of Temecula pkwy and Pachanga pkwy has e85.
What kind of shifter do you have? I’m assuming it’s a short throw? Also do you have your stock e-brake still in?
I’m trying to use your video for reference as to where the rear impact sensors are can you confirm weather or not they are close to c pillar/rear wheel well under where the rear seats used to be? It would be super helpful as I can’t find anything online about these impact sensors
I saw a video were you were cleaning your St from carbon build up any suggestions
Looked like 2980 with you in it. So 2800 no driver. Pretty good !
what clutch was in this at this time of the video? My car is running the bNR3071 with the XDi HPFP and injectors, but the Spec Stage3+ clutch and Spec LW flywheel are very chattery. Ive been told its normal and some say it eventually goes away..but its def noticeable and I'm only at 1200mi on a fully built motor/clutch.
For a future reference, I got my Focus ST weighed at a Loves truck stop/gas station. $12 to weigh and $2 if you get it weighed again that same day. Mine was FBO at the time with full interior, ST3 package. Weighed 3160 with a full tank of 93 with me not in the car.

I do not know how US "evidence papers" but here in Czechia, Europe we have even weight of that precise car. So stock ST mk3 wagon with heated seats, wipers, windows, standard audio, all cameras, tempo, aircondition ... is 1522Kg (3355lbs)
I'm thinking about doing some weight reduction on my vehicle. I'm concerned if some of these mods are legal in my state and if I need to report any change in seating capacity to my insurance company. Should I look into it, or can I just go right ahead with the mods? This is my daily commuter, and I'm not looking to do anything too aggressive.
cf hood, trunk, and doors would be insane
I'm sure you've heard it a hundred times, but you should really get a 2j racing cowl intake, IAT's will be even lower not to mention even more sweet turbo noises :D
Nice, my mr2 spyder weighs 2160 pounds with no weight reduction

so your wet weight is 2800ish that's a lot off a ST3 stock, cf hood and hatch drops combined another 80lbs and cf roof another 80lbs (i have a sun roof) not sure about your tuner. nishan knows his stuff and got my st over 588 wheel hp with a PTE5558 and build sp63 stage 2 long block swapped that's E50 and 609 with E85+VP RX102 = I call it E40RX Mix, stock motor is sitting on the side lines in case i push it to far at this rate might just sell it and get the new C8 and twin turbo kit when they are on the ground

Any reason you don't go with an autopower roll bar or full roll cage? I have the auto power in my car with half of an interior and it fits perfect and definitely stiffens up the chassis

One major downside? Getting pulled over and explaining to the officer that you didn’t realize you were going above the speed limit when you were doing laps around the mall
I guess the next level now is cutting most of the frame,door skeleton and lexan windows
Are you doing an carbon fiber body panels for weight reduction?

D Ruiz Eventually yes. I don’t have the ability to just yet. Carbon is expensive.
Replace the crash bar with a lightweight crash bar and save weight

When you add E85 don't you need to change the oil etc service it as the E85 fuks about with the oil.

That’s a sedan. This is a hatch back. The weights vary significantly because of the chassis stiffness and added support. This was also an ST3 so it was loaded. Look at the curb weight before you claim that the scale is wrong. These cars are heavy for the size.
