What type of weight reduction have you done to your CRX for either drag racing, fuel economy, etc? And what does your car weigh now?

Deetz

ha ha, the only weight savings i have on my crx...

- jdm doors
- jdm bumpers
- header pipe
- forged rims

Not sure how much i saved, but i'd think about 120lbs

CRX91SE

870 kg ! out of all the crx's i owned, this is the lightest . Cant wait to see what my ef8 weighs , especially with no sunroof or glass top! XD

kingcobra

Nice 1920lbs. What all did you do to get to that weight or is that what it weighs stock?

fasteddie707

the 88 hf is lightest stock... to bad the weight reduction comes at the expense of your safety.

My 89si has no front crash beam, cut out some of the front frame, shaved cross-member, lightened flywheel and jdm doors. I'm looking at 1951lbs

crx was never a safety car in the first place, but i still love the crx.

last time I weighed my 91 CRX HF it was 1940 lbs. That's pretty much stock. Except for a header and CAI, but I doubt those make much of a weight difference.

CRX91SE

just fully stripped the back all the bumper supports were there , i left the sound deader and all that. aftermarket header aswell. thats about it i dont like have rear interior in any of my crx's no offence but i think its garbage anyway. when i got the car from Vancouver a had a philips and took it all out and left it at the gas station in the parking lot and came back on the highway haha. I am telling you that was the best ride ever going threw the mountains with a crx, also had a close call from getting road head from my gf at the time, i almost crashed into the side of the mountain when i was nutting.

CRX91SE

oh ya and my vis carbon fiber hood.

vg_Ace

yeah thats how I wanna die with my pants undone with my member hanging out as the girl is thrown around in the car cause she's not wearing a seat belt when I crash into something. Sorry dude but I have seen too many bad car crashes while I would tag along with a friend that was a tow truck driver. Even once had to see two crispies extracted from a car that were brother and sister.

Road head just ain't worth it IMO.

wolfsbain

i eliminated the air conditioning, all the intake baffles and have the vx wheels on my rex so far. will probally be stripping the interior in the spring if i get another daily driver

Mine weighed exactly 2100 lbs and its full weight with a swap and ac

vg_Ace

now see I went to a truck stop weight machine on the side of the freeway. The big machine seemed to only weigh in 20s. So it would jump from 1940 to 1960 and back. It was not that accurate but I assume that's cause it weighs trucks that are multiple tons.

I weighed my JDM '88 CRX si on some corner weight race scales a while back and I had her down to 845kgs /1867lbs, all rear interior out, no a/c, no carpet or sound deadening, no spare wheel, jack etc. Have since made a few other changes so I estimate it to be down to 840kgs/1851lbs

kingcobra

Nice. Anyone replace the rear glass with lexan or replace the whole hatch with a fiberglass one?

I was able to take my 95 mustang drag car from 3300lbs to 2600lbs. Now I know theres less stuff to remove out of the crx because its a smaller car but im sure it wouldnt be a problem to get these cars into the 1,7xx and possibly 1,6xx range, no?

Jenkinsal2

not too dificult to go down to around 1500 if you dont mind removing all of the crash protection. Minimum weight for my car in EP is 1500.

kingcobra

Crash protection? These cars have safety equipment? lol

How much are the doors worth?



As for the newbie comment, you must be drunk. My **** runs faster on motor than yours does on boost.

Todd00

The 1320 really isn't where the CRX is judged, so not many folks care about drag racing.

Care to take that Mustang to a road course or autox?

Taiperas

920 kg / 2 028 with 2/3 of fuel tank, stock car with oem spare wheel, tool kit etc. The best way to reduce it significantly is to change hood and trunk to CF, cause they are VERY heavy.

kingcobra

There are plenty of CRX's getting it done on the drag strip on this site... check out the drag section.

As for my car doing autox.... not even possible with the suspension/chassis stiffening/wheels/steering, etc that my car has. With a spool rear end, 28x10.5 slicks, skinnies up front, manual brakes, manual steering, anti roll bar, coil overs, etc I prolly wouldnt make it one lap around a race track at full speed. lol

Thanks, so from the post on here the si's are generally 100lbs heavier in stock form as suggested by wikipedia and the 88-89's were 100lbs lighter than the 90-91's.

Full metal doors with glass from my 91 was around 70 lbs each I think. Now gutted with no glass is just over 30 i think.

To: vg Ace, try going to a scrap yard where they recycle metals and they weigh the vehicles both coming in and going out. I did this w/my first CRX ('90), and w/a half tank of gas it weighed 1925. These scales are usually every 10 lbs. - mine was stripped interior, Motegi TrakLites, lightened flywheel, Odyssey battery, no spare wheel or a.c., etc.

vg_Ace

there are no scrap metal yards in my area. I know what you are talking about cause I have done that in Eugene OR. but there's nothin like that in Washington.

kess

Dont know my weight, but I have a CF hood, no A/C, lightened flywheel, aluminum radiator, header (no iron exhaust), SS cat-back, racing seat, no passengers seat or spare, fiberglass front bumper (cover) with no reinforcement and aluminum wheels. Removing the interior is gay - you might reduce 5 lbs and it looks like ****. I do have a supercharger, ect to help make it go. Less weight plus more HP is the key. And I weigh 155 lbs - go on a diet and go faster!
