we all know the h22a is one heavy b*tch and the power to weight ratio suffers due to the heavy front end. my question is, did you notice any difference in weight after installing the CF hood? i want my lude quick and nimble like a GS-R. CF hood seems to be one of the only options since i dont want to gut the car at all.

 

the prelude handles better than a GS-R
heck prelude is one of the best handling cars for under $30 during its time....you dont need to do anything to it...

as for CF hood..it wont help much...you would have to gut the whole car....the lude is just tooooo heavy.

 

do you even have a cf hood?

i moved my battery to the trunk, and that helped a lot. i would think the hood would make a little difference.

 

I do. did nothing for me. battery is more weight then a hood is going to save, plus you are completely getting rid of it from the front and adding it to the rear, helping with the balance.

 

installed hood.....no difference noted

 

you moved your battery to trunk? can you give me a little bit more info on how the car felt? also where can i get a relocation kit?

 

Heres a kit for a mustang that would work.

no difference huh. how about in a strait line? think it would make any difference at the track.

loosing 100lbs would barely make a noticeable difference if that.

They say 150lbs is good for two tenths... So the butt dyno might not say it's there but, you would be going faster. I have a CF hood and the butt dyno didn't notice. But, combined with A/C removal, lighter battery, stripped trunk(I.E. no spare/jack etc.) I managed to shave .2 seconds off my 1/4 15.1 baby wooo!
