ok race season is coming up and the motor is almost ready but really wanna lighten up the teg its a 90 2 door GS model w/ JDM B16A

most of the power steering and A/C stuff is gone plan on getting rid of the rest
front bumper support is getting pulled just for the track
Sound deadner is getting scrapped off the interior floor
rear Wiper and all accessories or being pulled
all W/ sprayer elements
stock air ducting

Car is mostly unmolested (as far as weight reduction)but need it to go on a diet if i think about breaking 13's this year

i know theres of you that think i should not do this but .....
Please help with whatever else can be removed that would help out

trying to get the car close to 2000lbs if at all possible

 

Do a search on weight reduction I have seen a few different people post up different ways they have shaved off weight from using 87 crx hf drums on there 91 si to cutting the floors out of bubbles and replacing with sheet metal its all about how deep you wanna get into it.....

 

I should of been more specific i basically just want a mild weight reduction

basically just stripping parts that are not needed and removing unnecessary items

 

Get rid of you DA, or convert it to a DD, and buy a EF or EG. Sorry but if you want a light DA, its going to take alot more work then its worth. I know, I started to build one as a racecar.

 

LOL thanks for the Opinion i actually went from a EF hatch w/B18 to this DA w/ a B16 kinda down graded but after i sold the hatch i picked up the B16 then found the DA shell in really good shape and picked it up for only $500 no rust and already had vtec harness in it. i bought the car and spent absolutely nothing puttting the swap in i had everything sitting around.. kinda a peace together but i decided i wanna run the teg this year lol BTW its gonna be drag raced this year not autoxed

 

saw zaw is your friend in weight reducation

 

Remove your sunroof and get a plug. The glass in the hatch is heavy. Remove it and replace it with a FAL unit. Maybe get a carbon fiber hatch and hood. etc.. etc...

 

i found th sunroof plugs $370 (ouch)

i already have a CF hood

if i was to get the trunk lid i would get the fal back window
(heard the stock glass and CF trunk isnt a good combo)

buy my crx shell and put an H22 in it!! it has innovative H22 crx mounts, custom axles, linkage, Full hydro pedal conversion (not an actuator i have the EG pedal assmbly) , wiring, Ecu jumper, etc..

$1500 but i'm in Socal!

 

Strip the car to a bare shell and only put back whats needed. You'd be suprised how fast weight comes off.

 

not a bad idea but what i think im gonna do is pull the motor again and completely strip the engine bay of all that's not needed first and then worry about the interior Has anyone ever successfully tucked a DA i might attempt to when i have the motor out

 

k came to notice that the lightest i can get my DA is street/drag form is prolly 2200 lbs ??? can you post weights of what others have got your DA's down to caus ei would still like to get lighter
