thanks 4 the info peeps. yes I do have 2 bov's. its because if u run big boost u definatly want the extra air to leave your pipes between throttle. u dont want it going back to the turbo. I want to run big boost and make my CRX all race (plus I cant afford that turbonetics Godzilla one. that would do trick for any amount of lb's) so when i put my set up together i just got 2. thats also why i need fiberglass its funny though. I thought it wouldnt be very loud at low boost(10lbs) but it surprisingly is.

anybody else with more fiberglass info let me know

Is it a drag car? or road race/autocross? or what?

Fiberglass doors would definitely be lighter than gutted doors.

Cutting is ok, but how much you cut out is going to depend on what you are going to do with the car

Did you get rid of that sound deadner on the floor already?

Lexan is pretty expensive. So make sure you know exactly how much you are going to need.

Here's a tip, use dry ice on the sound deadner. then tap it with a hammer. it'll come off in chunks. Don't use a torch, it'll just end up being a huge mess.

Either that, or you can cut out the entire floorboard and weld on a replacement out of sheet metal...but that will take some time, and may not be permitted in whatever class you are planning on running this car in. Read the rules first.

ya i'm definately cutting out the whole spare tire area. and i'm contemplating the area above the gas tank. guy do that over her but i wonder how much of a weight saver that really is. the just tack thin sheet metal over it. the guy from Signal, the 89Crx and 96hatch. they cut the back half of the wheel well out. I dont know how they get away with that. as far a windows what do U think is the most inexpensive way to go? i wanted quality too. FAL?let me know if anything..
