seriously, taking the back seats out and taking a dump before you drive will get you about the same results.

LOL, ya the back seats are light. Modless weight reduction: Don't fill up your tank all the way..water weighs approximately 8.34 lbs per gallon(IM not sure if gas is lighter or what, but either way, it'll still be heavy). How big is the prelude's gas tank, somewhere around 15gallons or so??? sooo....if you only fill half and save 7.5 gallons of weight, that's like 60+lbs right there haha. But for me, I could care less, I fill it up all the way since usually I don't pay for my own gas

if you're looking for weigth reduction tips - the topic has been covered many times - you can do a search for it in the prelude archives - plenty of info there.

on a fifth gen i doubt you could get it under 2900lbs

4th gen - 2650 at the lightest, there is one guy on here that has a 2600 lb one but thats an S model w/o a lot of options.....

as they said, this has been covered many times

Thank you. haha

I got my prelude down to 2750 with 1/8th of a tank of gas, i/exhaust,carbon fiber hood, still had AC and PS, stripped the whole back of everything, even the lining in the trunk. With out PS, AC, and Airbags, im sure you could get the car down to 100lbs less then that im sure. Minus the sunroof, thats 50lbs. Lighter drivers seat, probably minus 10-20lbs. You'd be at close to 2500lbs by then. And theres still some more stuff you could do.

well, actually we can read - and you said <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by SpeedMachine &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">without taking out the back seats?</TD></TR></TABLE>, and a couple of us thought that it didnt matter that much weight-wise if the back seats were in or out.

lighten up.

Who me? Im not flaming you, i was just illiustrating what i took out to make it down to 2750. And what else could be taken out to make the weight even lower.

Just chill out and read better next time.
