3780 lbs is a great number. Mine weighed at 3960 lbs with 35% fuel and everything else OEM. What weight reduction items do you have other than the seats?

Rear seat delete, carbon ceramic brakes, full ti header back exhaust, Braille i34CE lithium battery, and a bunch of fasteners replaced with titanium. But I've also added back some weight with Tom's front and rear under chassis brace and rear shock tower brace.
Wow you got the weight down to a Track Edition...or an 08 ISF.
You have a list of items by weight you removed?
I don't have a list and I didn't weigh every part I replaced, I wish I have. The only parts I remember comparing are the back seats, 42 lbs total versus ~6 lbs rear seat delete. Front rotors, iirc are 42 lbs each versus 23 lbs for the carbon ceramics.
Hi y'all. Just picked up this beauty about 2 weeks ago. I had lined up with one against my Focus RS about a year ago and was pretty impressed at it's beautiful sound that I finally did some research on it when I was looking for a second car. Loving it so far and just thinking a few aesthetic touches like tint and exhaust.
It is nice to see a few familiar users from back when I had my 9th Gen Corolla.
Very nice. Regarding familiar people with 9th gen Corolla, I think I remember you back from the 9thgencorolla.com days circa 2004 - 2007? I believe I was active on the forum till about 2007 or so. Were you on that forum? Your screen name sounds familiar.

Yesssss, that was me, same handle. I was in SoCal, well, still am and had one of the supercharged Corollas. It was 9thgencorolla.com, that was a fun time.

LOL...I have a sharp memory. Yeah, I remember those intense arguments between Supercharged 1ZZ Corolla owners and us 2ZZ-GE Corolla XRS owners. I still have my XRS, but it is sits as the Lexus RX gets driven as the family hauler and my RCF is just a fun/hobby project/summer toy. Hahah...

OMG, lol, that is right. There were many heated discussions over 175-200hp, it was great! I made some long time friends there. I have since let go of the Corolla to my nephew after I converted the 5 speed to a C60 6 speed from the XRS and changed the final drive for shorter gearing with a Kaaz LSD and had Ray from Kaaz rebuild it. It was a go kart for the street. I am getting ready to prep my Focus RS for sale after getting a deal I could not pass up and picked up the RC F to fill the void. It will be missed and was/is one of the best driving cars I have ever had.
It is good to see you again and even more exciting that you still have the XRS. That is a rare one and I have yet to see another 9th Gen XRS for quite some time.

Yeah, nice to hear all of that. I recall all of the heated debates. I also continued to mod my Corolla XRS pretty extensively after I left the 9th gen Corolla site (and then it was shut down after a couple years). I have all of the mods in my signature below on the XRS. I got married and between 1st and 2nd child, I started to realize Corolla XRS was not cutting it anymore as a daily driver. I bought the RCF first in 2017 and started modding it (though, I promised myself to keep it almost stock other than exhaust but got infected by the modding bug again) and also an RX450h SUV to do all of the heavy lifting for the family hauling. My Corolla XRS was supposed to be just my office car, but COVID hit, and I started to work from home. After the pandemic, I still continue to work from home, so Corolla XRS just stays parked. It is still a lot of fun to drive with the drivetrain and suspension mods I have on it, but I am spoiled by the RCF now LOL Sometimes I think about selling it
Ford Focus RS is an amazing car. I would keep both if I were you, but I realize it all depends on personal situations. Cheers!
Got the same car and am also in LA. Got mine in April.
