hatch gutted weight?
I am curious how much you figure an ef hatch like this would weight:
Gutted interior (Just dash)
1 Race seat
No AC
No power steering
No sunroof
b16 engine and tranny
OEM hood, hatch and glass
Thanks.

1500 give or take a couple hundred.
ive got a 91 hatch that i daily drive. full interior no PS no AC no sunroof. im going to the scrap yard monday or tuesday & ill have my car weighed. i was planning this to see how much my d15b2 is going to be vs the b18b1 ive got planned.
ive been told 1300 is what it weighs fully equpt minus the motor n trans. ill check monday or tues however

Re: hatch gutted weight?
Evidently the quote button is missing now?
I'm thinking fully equipped without motor/trans = 1500 in a stock car, especially Si (moonroof). [This is me talking through my ***] = "Because stock weight is supposedly 2200, and an engine weighs about 200 and transmission is what like 100??lbs?"

Re: hatch gutted weight?
i agree i lifted my d series outta the hatch after it blew without the tranny attached. hurt like hell after but its definitely not 500 lbs. your car stripped with a b series should be just under 2k
itll still rip i promise

Re: hatch gutted weight?
Thanks guys!
The race class weight min with driver is 2080.
Driver with race gear 160
Cage probably about 160
So if it's possible to get get an ef hatch (like spec'd in first post) down to like 1750 I will be good.
You guys think 1750 is possible or no chance in hell?
Really don't want to get into cf hood, hatch and lexan if I don't have to.

Re: hatch gutted weight?
stripping your interior isnt even worth it man, its probbally less then 30 pounds, and it makes it colder and less heat stays in. If I was tryn to make my car lighter, I would go with plexiglass windows, lighter rims ect. the only major thing to strip would be the backseat. thats just me speakin out the ***, who knows.

Re: hatch gutted weight?
No it is not worth it, gutting the interior, my 1990 CRX came in at 2200 with me in it, a b16a swap and carbon fiber hood. I weigh about 225 though, so the car itself was under 2000, but it is such a noisy terrible ride. If you are gonna race competitively it is a must, and i agree about the windows they are heavy. Have you ever removed a windshield?
