I own a 1995 civic ex coupe and as everyone knows this car other than the civic ex sedan and others weigh the most out of all of the EG variants. This thread is on weight reduction and I want to show how much you lose from removing the components that I have removed. I also have a question as well. The 95 ej1 weighs around 2450 pounds, 2443 to be exact with a manual transmission and full tank of gas, all fluids, without any passengers. My question is, does this curb weight include an air conditioning system? My car did not come with AC from the factory so my exact weight loss figure might be a little off. At any rate, I removed the following things. Spare tire and jack, back seats, sound deadening and cloth in the trunk, rear shelf and speakers and the full exhaust has been replaced with stainless steel headers, test pipe, and full stainless steel cat-back. After removal I weighed my car at a salvage yard without me in it. With a full tank of gas the car currently weighs 2272 pounds. A total of around 170 pounds of weight reduction. This is a good amount of weight lost for not completely gutting the interior. I think I might put back the rear shelf with the speaker though to make the car look a little more presentable.

Don't forget a full tank of gas weighs approx. 75 lbs . . . driving with a 1/8 - 1/4 tank instead of full is a huge weight reduction.

How much does the whole AC system weigh in an EG civic?

I actually weighed it on an empty tank and just added what a full tank would weigh. It weighed almost exactly 2200 pounds.

While I never got a print out of my DC2 integra's weight I had a pic on my phone with the scale reading, 2341 lbs down from 2667 from the factory...which is pretty good if you ask me. Mind you I ripped out EVERYTHING inside and tucked/shaved the engine bay so yah, was just a hard parker but still.

This what the weight reduction looks like.
