Well as most of us know, preludes are heavy ( specially 5th gens). Well im currently taking weight off the car. So far i lost some pounds off the aem intake, aem pulleys, stripped trunk ( no spair or tools or jack), cf hood, took out the window washer resivior ( full of that solution was somewhat heavy), some brackets in the engine bay, gutt the seats when i feel like it, took out most of the tar underneath the carpet, also took out these rubber sound reducing mats under the carpet too, and the tein has might have lost barely. I recently got a fidanza flywheel and skunk2 camgears, besides light rims and lighter aftermarket parts, what else can i do to decrease the weight. I wan to hit in the mid 2700s

 

rip out AC/ PS/ cruise, heater core, fluidyne radiator, carbon fiber valve cover, carbon fiber intake, lexan windows, remove sunroof and cover hole with lexan...etc.

I have my car down to 2604 lbs with me in it. And I haven't even done everything above. I have no PS, no ABS, no cruise, no AC, fiberglass bumper, hood, fenders, all brackets and unneeded things under the hood were removed. No trunk, no backseats, and I'm about to dro pthe bumper braces in rear, and lexan the corner windows and sunroof for about another 150 lbs off

 

I took out the speakers and head unit.
Sparco roadsters and revs are also very light. They are roughly 15 lbs/each compared to the 45lb/each stockers.

 

How much does the cruise control weigh? I was going to do that next.
Isnt ac like 60 pounds w/ everything also?

 

I was looking that the non adjustable bride seats. Anyone know if those are pretty light? I havent felt or sat in one yet.

 

About 2.5 lbs

 

I think the best weight reduction is a diet! lose some of those 50 lb thing that can kill. hehe

 

That doesn't work if you are already at a healthy weight.

 

how did you remove the ABS? i want to remove it from my 94 VTEC. please let meknow exactly what i need to do and things i need. thanks

On a 5th gen the sunroof/frame/motor weigh 42 pounds and the A/C is 34 pounds. I had a bodyshop fill the whole in my roof which probably added 5-10 pounds back though. Here is a pic.

 

removing a lot of that stuff is so useless. preludes are heavy and if you wanna strip it down completely just to get down to 2700lbs, you might as well get an LS integra and drop in a nice H22A in there. reducing weight is cool and all that, but i'd rather have some goodies left in the car (especially the AC). my EG was stripped to the bone and it's cool for a while, but then you just get sick of it. you start hearing rattles, some weird *** noises, you have nothing in the car and it starts to get annoying after a while. but, to each his own, if you like driving down the street with only your seat inside, N1 style, that's cool. i kinda compromise when it comes to weight vs. comfort. i removed everything from the trunk, removed stock airbox, mugen M7's instead of stock wheels, lighter exhaust, c/f hood, some useless brackets and stuff like that are also out, power antenna motor and antenna itself, and some minor other stuff. i'll try to get a fiberglass or carbon fiber trunk lid also. so i'll be somewhere in the low 2800's.

 

My car was a base model prelude, it didn't come with ABS, that's one of the reasons it's so light.

 

a guy from hp.com had a carbon fiber roof made it was pretty nice.. his car was stripped and had mad power
