season not over...gotta make that last race at Road Atlanta in December

 

he fellas need your imput/thoughts. I had my car weighed yesterday.


Added:
+ Bswap (vs. dswap)
+ turbo kit (turbo + manifold alone is 30lbs)
+ full 6 piece urethan ww body kit & 2 spoilers
+ coilovers + sway bar
+ 304ss 3' full exhaust (vs. stock exhaust)
+ FR traction bar (vs. - radiator support/stablizer arm)
+15 slips (vs. oem 14" steelies)

Removed:
- AC
- stock exhaust
- rear bumper support
- spare tire
- full radiator

I thought it was going to be in the +2500lbs range it ended up being much lighter than expected only 2,366lbs

Keep in ind a stock 91 civic si is 2,291lbs.
car has full interior & 1/2tank of gas

.... thoughts ?

 

I was told by the previous owner of my car that it was weighed at 2050lbs. It still has full interior, but it has the JDM bumper supports, no air/heat/blower, no radio. Also has a B18 and all the typical bolt ons. 3" Aluminum exhaust.

 

i dont see what the surprise is, the parts you added dont weigh that much more, if not lighter than the stock parts

 

 

Charlie- 75 lbs is not much considering everything removed and added. I am guessing you meant 3" exhaust and not 3' though.

 

i tried to weigh my car at the track...lazy people kept saying no making excuses.

 

The strange thing is that when I push other cars around the shop vs. the shoebox, it seems so much heavier than eg/ek. Heck even pushing my brothers DA seems easier.

 

This last semester I had to do additional classes to graduate with my cohort. So i had massive commitments this semester.

Finished now though!

 

good ****

 

i know its not the right place , but im looking for h&r race springs . let me know if anything

 

Just picked up this gem. Hiro wing for the ef hatch. Was a shock to see someone locally in Canada selling it so i snagged it faster that a hooker collecting her $20

 

...can't say that i like that one. maybe b/c it's not flush with the body

 

Yah i was never a huge fan of it either but with the price i got it at couldnt say no lol. Ill have to decide when its outta the garage and i can get a good look at it.

 

First time I've seen one.... I like it.

 

I want one. I'll likely make one for when I try to run 180 mph in standing mile next year

 

us sedan owners don't have to worry about acquiring such things

 

Need to see the wing painted to make final judgement

 

I want to do that 1/2 mile run to with 500-600whp... i should be able to get it to 180mph.... this winter i'll have to do some work to the underside of the body kit cause i don't want it flying off lol

 

I like it man.

 

Charlie what trans are you running?

I used the mFactory gear calculator prior to purchasing a ctr trans for my h2b setup to understand where i would peak at.

 

that must be insanely short. i know people would max out the gearing on an ITR trans on the front and back straight at VIR

 

right now i have a gsr trans with mfactory lsd and more likely with 16" wheel.

really not sure what RPM i want to be at when i hit 170-180mph...i'll see what other sugguest as time gets closer to it. Worse cause i think a LS 5th gear should be tall enough.

 

been a whice since i checked out www.zealautowerks.com and decided to use their hp calculator...surprised by how close it was

 

hahaha that's awesome...

what i find funny is only 3 turbo size selections where as i would of though they go by turbo cfm or lbs/min.
