Default did some weighing on interior *total weight savings inside*

so taking my 92 cx , completely stripping it, removing all interior panels (except dashboard and glove compartment and both sun visors), rear seat belts, carpeting, headliner, spare tire and jack + tools, wood piece that covers the spare tire, passenger seat, leaving the sound deadening in the drivers and passengers side foot well, yields a total weight saving of 148 +-2 lbs for any scale error. so a dry cx without passenger can weigh in at 1946 lbs. dont know if this help any one, but hey its a fun honda fact you can tell all your friends!!

Nice, That's almost exactly what I did with my EG, I didn't know that all that weighed THAT much! You have any pictures of your stripped interior? We could swap some

i could take pics with my camera phone but it look will look like ***

ya who knew all that would add up, before i did it i figure max total would be like 60-70 pounds, now there is a definite answer

heres a break down kinda
all panels, carpeting , headliner, seat belts = 88-90 lbs
passenger seat = 34 pounds
spare tire with jack and tools and wood cover = 26 pounds
