Default Need Your Advice...

I have a basically stock Si, different Rims, and 2.5" piping, other than that bone stock. I need everyones advice on the perfect launch, what I can do to make my car lighter, that isn't that noticeable (cause my parents will freak), and wont cost money. Any help is appreciated, and if this forum could go one post without someone making a complete douchebag remark, that would also be appreciated. Thanks.

Anything you do will be noticeable. I suppose you could take the spare out without anyone noticing. Aside from that, there isnt much you can do. You really arent going to be that much faster with a hundred pounds less in the car.

Yeah, and while your at it, take out your seat belts, bumper supports, and brakes. That way, if anything were to happen, you would be even more screwed.

Racing on the street, and not really much to show off, I mean my car either way is going to be slow as **** until it's turbo'd, or till I get some **** done to the engine, but I'm going against a GTS V6 Eclipse, that I have already taken 7 times, but the kid swears that he has his launch down now, and then a GT Celica, that has a shitload of stuff done to it. I raced against him over the weekend, but on a really narrow road, he out launched me, and then I was pulling on him hard, then he swerved towards my lane, so I slammed on my breaks, yelled at him for swerving, and said for him to run me some other place. So, we're going this weekend. But I've been launching at around 3800, and then just letting off the clutch completely, and then slamming down on the gas, is that the best I can do, that is the best I have found, but if there is a better method I'm willing to try it. Thanks.

Like I said, douchebag comments, you are a ******* **** smoke, you act as if you never have raced, you have nothing better to do, but go onto other peoples posts, and put **** on there that is completely useless to the person posting, so why don't you shut up, and put your mouth to better use, and go suck a dick!

To the ****** that posted below me, okay, sense you seam to be an illeterate bastard, read the first god damn post, was I only talking about weight reduction, NO! I also had a question regarding the launch, and even if, you went out of your way to just hate on someones post, therefore, that makes you the "fucktard". Then, if you want to give me **** about streetracing, you're ******* stupid, regardless of how you like to keep the rep. hear at "Honda-Tech", people still race on the street, and you probably even do it yourself, and if you don't I really don't give a ****, I don't need you to be the gaurdian here and tell me, oh it's dangerous, and taking out your airbags isn't the smartest thing to do, so just keep to yourself, and shut up. Do I still sound like a STUPID STUNNA!! So, the demeanor of Honda-tech is supposed to be more mature right, yet you're acting like a *** and making me wonder why your opinions would even be meaningfull to me.

You are an Idiot. There are hundreds of posts on losing weight, but you decided to make your own anyways, instead of searching. There are even write ups with pictures detailing what you can remove, and how much each part weighs. Honda-tech has a reputation for being the more mature figure in the Honda-tuning world. It is well known for hating out ricers and street racers, yet you come in here and blatently state that you intend to street race regardless of the consequences it has on yourself, your family, your neighborhood, and anyone else that you may injure/affect in you pathetic attempt to show off you slow honda.

You said you were going to take out the airbags..... that is quite possibly the stupidest idea I have ever heard. Sacrifice safety to save what, like 10 pounds?

you sound like a stupid stunna.

If you want to lose weight without your parents noticing then you could maybe remove ac and power steering.

Does anyone else find it ironic that he calls me illiterate and has a bunch of spelling errors in his post? Not to mention the gramatical errors...
