So apparently their scales are wayy off, well that just makes me feel worst than better, thought that losing some weight would make it a hair quicker. I still have the stock doors just for the windows, I'll cut some of the excess off them but I need them to still work until I get some NACA ducts installed to replace them.

not saying you can't reduce a substantial amount of weight on your car but why not learn to drive it correctly instead of ripping everything out......established companies such as J's racing or Opera performance do it in such a way that is near david copperfield status let alone for a regular old joe to do.......anyway heres an article that i read which you may think is interesting....this car dropped from 2976 to 2167 pounds....simply amazing. Heres the link and good luck with the project.

My CRX comes in at 1950 with me in it and half a tank of gass. I need to put 50 pounds in to be legal for Honda Challenge and 150 plus the spare to be legal for ITB.

Whoa that green CRX has all kindas of weight, doors, trunk, traction bar (those things are metal). Not to metion the extra ounces for that bling wire cover on the valve cover.

Now this is more like it;


Sorry - had to

The Green CRX was a buddy of mine car from Orlando a few years back. That car had a 1 piece front end, with holes cut out for the head lights and radiator.
