hmm... never heard of one of those... jk... i think it's cause they don't have any options such as a sunroof and other miscellaneous stuff... all that little stuff adds up in the end

yeah,
- no sunroof
- no sound deadening(sp?)
- no AC
- I believe lighter seats, not positive though
- no rear wiper
- no tach, not that the tach would weigh much, but it still weighs something

my HF has a tach, redlines at 5k and goes up to 8k.. kinda like my "vtec area"

edit:

oh yea, i believe the brakes are really small, thats why Si hubs and knuckles are needed for b-series swaps.

Maybe the actual HF engine is lighter than say a d16a6, no cargo cover.. no ac. stuff like that.

smaller gas tank, and yes, smaller brakes all around. All HF's have a tach.
