Hello people, I was just wondering are Crx's even worth weight reducting. There isn't much to take out really... Maybe a lighter hatch, if anyone knows is that even exists.

 

By the way i have a 1989 Crx SI, with a swaped SOHC ZC motor and still has the stock SI Tranny. Its lowered 4 inches on 15 inch gsr blades. So because of this zc motor, and me being broke. I was wondering if there is anything that if taken out, would make a substantial difference in the performance of the car. So if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

 

get a hf model...end of story

 

Take every single thing out except for the driver seat and the dash. You'll drop a few tenths

 

I like my Si , and as for the seats, maybe, but taking out everything like, the seat, and plastic panels, which all together weight like 15 lbs. this might not save alot. the carpet is out, and i have after market seats, dunno their weight, but its probably 25 lbs each, the only real extra weight in my car are my subs and they probly only weight 50lbs. so if i took every thing out i would only save like 100 lbs, is that really worth it?. lol

 

I was bieng sarcastic. On the real you can gut the back half but it is little for performance. I roll gutted.

 

I will post some pics, once it stops snowing and clears up, so i can clean her.

 

Well yea alright. I figured that weight reducted wasn't much for performance in a crx. I guess ill just have to upgrade :D

 

now your making sense

 

its really not worth stripping the interior imho. i would rather have the luxury and comfort rather noise and rattles and minus 20 or 40 pounds. plus since its an Si it has nice interior. dont ruin it haha. but its your car do what you like with it. if the seats are clean, take very good care of them. they are hard to come by. especially 89 Si seats.

 

Well, ive actually stripped the car before, and ive replaced the seats. they were destroyed. so i have some knock off racing seats, with horrible harnesses, but it works

 

They do make a carbon fiber hatch, but of course its expensive. The most weight really is the sunroof but i wouldnt give that up
