Well, my Min weight is 2725.. So, I sat in the car, w/ a full load of fuel, and guess what, 2724 was the total.. I am adding 50lbs to the car to equal out the fuel that I'll burn, at the most, In a sprint race..

Also learned that corner balancing is a bitch, a big one.. Alex and I scratched our heads so much, we don't have any hair left.. Got the car even in the front, but its 50lbs off on the rear, and we can't figure it out at all, oh well, it was better then when I showed up w/ the car, and it was 150lbs off on the front, and 90 in the rear..

Getting an alignment on Thursday to straighten her up... Heading to CMP to smote the ECHC early friday

 

Opps, I should have read this http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Performa...nerbalance.htm before trying to even the car out Oh well.. A 1/2 up on the left front will clear that up closer, hehe..

 

Ummm, am I the only one seeing the incredibly obvious solution here? Unless you already added the 50lbs to get the balance you were talking about, just put it in the back on the side that is 50lbs off. Ta da!

I had the accord weighed this weekend. Before installing a autopower 4pt roll bat, the car weighed 2720. I have it down to 2440 with the bar. I still have the stock drivers seat, full doors with power windows, stock front seat belts. Those are the only other things I can think to remove besides the PS system.

 

Might want to be careful about where you install the weight. There might be a rules restriction.

added in edit: I checked the ECHC rules. I didn't see a section that said where you had to add the weight. I checked the NASA CCR. I didn't find anything there either. The WCHC rules has this which is the same as the IT rules. HTH.

6.1 Vehicle Minimum Weights
Up to 150lb of ballast may be added to the vehicle. Such ballast must meet NASA CCR and can only be installed in the passenger footwell area between the firewall and rear most factory seat mounting holes for the front seat.

Weight is installed in the passenger seat area, just in front of the rear most factory seat mount...

Matt, the 50lbs isn't that easy, that was weighed w/ the weights in the car, including me, this way.. W/ out the weight in the car, the balance would have been more off.. because its the right rear that is light..

Damn Son, that accord is LIGHT!
