hello guys,

I dont post here often, but im going to building a new weekend toy...finally purchased my next project car, newer generation integra.

a couple people finally convinced me to go with the larger wheel base and since i found an extremely clean integra coupe, sooooo i went ahead and got it.

im going to be runnin sfwd once im done, and im just a little worried about getting the weight down in this 'pig'.

what do most people do for all the weight savings?
power isnt going to be an issue. we all know how to make power in these cars.
im more concerned in the weight (not only saving weight, but also weight distribution) and aerodynamics

thanks,

willis

 

CF hood, trunk, sunroof....Take power steering, abs, heater core, blower motor, sound detaning off...Fuel cell....Take unecessary wires off...etc...

that sounds about right except for the fuel cell. They are not allowed in SFWD.

you can get as crazy as stripping the whole car down and media blasting it while spending nice amounts of doe on some carbon kevlar OMP bucket seats. btw your gonna have to get two of em, cause rule states in SFWD you must have two matching front seats. ALSO there is a weight limit in the class, i believe its 2400lbs. for one power adder, but if you shave the weight under that you can always add balast weight. ...it really all comes down to how crazy you wanna get, and how much you wanna spend.

...good luck with your build

i went 10.65 at 135 in a 2550 lbs integra on 20psi of boost.... i got alot of **** gone but the cage added back to it.... im goin to go into it further cut the door bars out,sunroof plug,carbon truck,manual rack, some kirskey seats

 

be a 130lbs driver.. Last year my car was 2310lbs with me in it the 1st nopi race. We added some weight since then, and then for NHRA we are just over 2400lbs with seat, exhaust and heavier tires in the rear.

 

yeah art i dont see that happen anytime soon haha i think it will be easier to get weight out of my car hahah

 

My "street class" teg is down to 2300lbs with my 230lb *** in the car. Still need to get the 6 point though.

 

How does the sound deadening material look like? i didnt see anything that look like tar underneath my carpet? does anybody daily drive there car with that scraped off?

 

its the black ****
