any body know what its purpose is for. noise? heat from engine damaging paint over time ?

iam talking about the insulator stuff

 

Fire?

 

Auto manufacturers call these things acoustic absorbsion pads. Now they usually install them with plastic clips or bolts so that it falls and smothers if there is a fire. Ive had vehicles with them removed an no paint problems.

 

cuz i was thinking of diffrent things i can remove to shave off some wheght with out removing my spare, also thinking about removing the heat shelds around the exhauset its been a very boring weekend for me and i have nothing better to do so i thought it would be a fun little project
remove airbags ? j/k

spell check ?

 

i doubt that stuff weighs very much.... i would invest in a CF hood if you really wanna remove weight from your hood. other suggestions include lighter weight rims, converting all your glass in your car to lexan (lol), removing power window motors/door locks, and also your back seat is optional. haha still have your spare tire right?

 

thoughs are all good ideas but iam trying to do it with out spending money lol but i i do plan on doing all that in do time

 

Teaching a four year old to drive your **** would probably be the easiest 100 pound reduction...

 

 

Why would you buy a new Si to do a weight reduction? dumb IMO. if you wanted a super fast car....you should have gotten a gutted hatch.

 

It'd be nice if everyone have the option to have 2 cars, one to play with one to dd. I'd say just let the guy do whatever he wants with the car he has.

 

why would you do a gutted hatch and not a gutted 85' CRX HF.... cuz it looks better! kthnx.

 

for one hatches get stolen alot where i live my freinds delsol got stolen out in front of my house ended up on the side of the road in palmdale the next day striped out my cosiuns wheels got stolen of his DC2 in my drive way ! and i cant afford to buy a secound car and iam not looking to stip out the car because i still get pasengers from time to time my goal is to only remove things that will still keep it looking like a street car and that are not to noticable it would be nice if i could remove somewhere around 5-10 pound range but that may be kinda hard without removing big thing ill be lucky if i can get to 5 pounds

i dont see the point for something so small. speaking for myself i probably have more than 5 lbs of stuff in my car already. manuals, ipod, sunglasses, hoodie, business cards, pocket knife, towel, and football lol, plus whatever other random things may be around. i dont think you would be able to even notice 10lbs.
