So basically you're asking if you can be light, without looking light?
Not a chance. Honda makes their cars about just as light as possible. Its very difficult to get rid of weight on a Honda without rub a dub dubin'. Removing the bumper supports ditch lots of wieght, as well as all the undercoat and the windows. The dash, the seats, the spare, the jack, all that **** in the trunk (spare cover).

My eg cx weighs 2200 with me in it, b series motor front and rear integra brakes and suspension, full tank of gas and heavy wheels.

I removed underhood a/c, no p/s, took out carpet, rear plastic panels, passenger seat, and back seats and spare. I ditched the srs wheel for a sparco one that weighs 5lbs with the quick release attached. I was also running a short pipe that dumped under the back seat area.

With all the interior still intact, and 1/2 tank of gas it was 2160 without me, so it would be 2330 with me.

I'm hoping that with the new d-series motor in and lighter wheels I'll be around 1900 without me, before cage.

 

Heres the list..

Free:
-Cut off the radiator support custom fab a couple bars/brackets to hold the radiator/bumper.

-Gut the doors(cutting the metal supports and all extra metal, put panel back on.

-Gut the hatch/trunk put the panels back on

-Remove bumper supports

-Cut out the rear tub that holds the spare, rivet some sheet metal in place.


Some $$ needed:
-Bucket seats help have a few pounds.

-Fiber glass/cf: fenders, hood, doors, hatch

 

real men roll their cars gutted as a mo fo.
pull the carpet and all that tar ****.
back seats are for losers.
what is this a/c thing you speak of.
if it dosn't make the car go or hold it togeather who needs it?

 

Cut, rip, tear, And dont plan on luxury.

 

remove:
tar/ sound deadner
heater core
Wipers, wiper motor
AC, PS
DoorBars (very unsafe if you were to get hit on your side)
Bumper Supports
cut anything behind the interior panels that doesn't hold the panels in

USE:
Lighter Battery
Fiberglass Skin Hood(4lbs)
Fiberglass anything
lighter wheels
Fuel Cell(saves up to 70 lbs)
Eat:
Subway

 

dont forget windshield washer system!!!

 

the next step for me is the doors... if you cut all the metal from the inside of the door, the windo will not operate, correct? At that point you'd have to screw the window up, or remove it. Any ways around that?

 

well i have no ac/ps and i took out the windshield washer system...sorry guys but i need my wipers...this is my car that i drive everyday....i have no spare and all the **** in the trunk(jack,tire,rear tire cover and carpet)..does anyone know where i can get a oem fiberglass hood...i cant find them,cuz i know thatll save weight...i dont wanna cut the safety bars outta door...i guess i can cut all the metal that is not need behind the plastics and the door panel...thx for ur help guys..i hope someone can get back to me on that oem fiberglass hood cuz i cant find one...my hatch is a P.O.S its worthy for a CF hood and i dont wanna spend the money on that

 

no luck on the oem fiberglass hood?

I think so, you just need to cut them out.

i weigh 160lbs alrdy i dont think i need to lose anymore weight ......and i cant get a one-piece front end for a street car

 

cromoly crossmember: lose 50lbs
11.5lb hawker battery: lose ~19lbs
lighweight flywheel: lose 10lbs and gain acceleration

 

Just drop you car off in Compton C.A. at 94th and Hoover for one night and your car will be totally stripped. The next morning you might have a little extra weight but just kick the bum,crackhead or hooker out that used your car for a overnight motel.

 

haha...thats funny
