Default put the prelude on a diet? 96 vtec

Hey guys I have a 96 prelude and I've been informed that since they are obd2. They have more sensors and all that which adds a lot of weight. I have my lude converted from obd2 to obd1 how would I go about getting that weight out.. Because I've heard it like a 300lbs difference than 92 95 preludes..please help?
Thanks
Dustin

LOL...that's the first I've heard someone wanting to remove sensors to save weight.


Look at the Drivetrain/Suspension/Braking section of the FAQs for weight reduction ideas.

If you get the Conversion Harness it takes out most of the weight.

Joke lol

the only prelude that is heavier is 5ht gen SH's due to the ATTS system. I don't believe that having an OBD2 car makes it heavier.. just harder to tune
