Tear out all fo the interior crap you don't need, go fiberglass body parts, if you are really serious and only want a race car take the glass out and replace with plexi-glass, get rid of all of the a/c crap, lighter seats, just get rid of anything you don't need for starters.

Take out entire interior, buy a sparco (way lighter!!) Take out interior side metal from doors, Get a lightened flywheel (weight reduction in the most critical spot), lightened crank pulley, light wheels/tires, fiberglass or carbon fiber parts, no more AC, powersteering, power anything, get a fuel cell to replace crappy metal tank, remove stereo, get a 5th gen radiator (1/2 size), shorter exhaust (right out the side), replace floor boards with aluminum, carbon brakes, plexi windows, get a carbon or fiberglass sunroof filler panel, remove all sound deadening material, remove windshield washer sprayers, fluid tank, wipers and wiper motor (use rain-x),drive naked, lose weight, shave your body, get your teeth pulled, trim your nails, get titanium screws, get a lightweight battery, take off the hydrolic hatch lifters, remove Honda emblems, put every other screw back in, remove gauge light bulbs, run 1/2 quart less oil, peel off all the id stickers in the car, remove the undercoating.... etc.

That should lighten you up a bit, for further ideas, that's up to you...

Good luck

Jung

I don't take the Internet as serious as you do I guess.

Besides, it was a Joke about Thousand Palms people. I used to live in Palm Desert.

Has nothing to do with me taking it so serious its the fact that you come on plenty of peoples threads and just post dumb ****.

Oh and excuse me that I didnt get some Joke about a place that I dont even live.

Cut out the spare tire area. Remove heater. Get an aftermarket front crossmember.

There have been lots of posts about this. I weighed everything in my old 89 when I stripped it and I lost like 300 lbs. I'll see if I can find the post for you.

yeah everybody drives around with a meth lab in there car . I can see you being a contributing member with post's like that. The mod's that run ef/crx try to keep bullshit post's like yours out of this forum. There is alot less bullshit in this forum than the others. I would suggest that all the noob's try and keep it that way instead of trying to instigate more crap.

look you really don't want to goto war with me. I've been here way to long and I know all the good comebacks that would slam your dick into the dirt. It is way to easy to make a noob cry so I will not even waste the time with you. Beside I do try and help most people here with the knowledge that I do have and I see this post getting locked really soon anyway. Thank you and have a nice day.
