In preparation for a cage, I removed some of the "extra" crap that Acura puts in the cars.

Lightweight y0!

I still haven't taken out the airbags and glovebox, that's up next. I need to continue cleaning, and organize some wiring a bit better. Other than that, it's about ready to head to King for a cage, killswitch, and maybe some other random blingtastic unobtainium JDM crap.

Edit: Forgot a picture!

 

pic?

:edit: looks like you need to get some more stuff out

 

wow lol. i thought you meant it was stripped due to theft.

great looking start and post lots more pics of the progress of the cage!

 

 

your rear view mirror needs to be reset You might wanna vacuum it to, get that extra .00005lbs out of it hahaha. Good luck with the cage man, post some pics up when you get it in!

Well, the dash has to go back in for Honda Challenge rules. Other than that, yeah, I noticed the bracket for the rear seat latch on the left of the pic, looks like I forgot that!!

Door interior metal is getting cut out to make room for NASCAR bars on the cage. Now I need to figure out where to mount the power mirror switches.... or glue them in place, or something.

That's about all I plan to take out though. Just needs some serious cleaning. Need to find a new hope for the pillar gauges too.

Lookin good Chris. What is the make up of the cage you're getting? Looks like alot of fun to me.

PS. When did you become such a racer?

 

how much do you think the R will weight with all that stuff out?

NASA/HC. 8 point.. 2 extra points (besides the normal 6) are from front hoop to the firewall. NASCAR bars at least on the driver side, TBD on the passenger side.

Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of it. Maybe Greased Lightning style lightning bolts.

 

With the help of a few certain friends, we did something like that this weekend too!

Thanks Erik

Anytime. Always happy to decrease the value of a car by at least 70% in a matter of about an hour.

 

I took the liberty of pointing out some other things that can be removed for weight savings.

 

Those pedals are fugly.

My dad bought me a nice Milwaukee cordless drill/driver for Christmas... I figured I'd better use it for something. J/K... I mostly decided over the summer, but now it's official.

If I was any smarter, the R woulda stayed stock until I made that decision.

Or as someone was buying last week, a carbon fuel pump cover.

 

looks like mine did last month

 

It will look good when it's done, btw I still have your quote under my sig, it still so true, Good luck

 

Pull the dash, airbags, srs hardware, etc.... relocate your gas/trunk release and hood release. Gut the drivers side door yourself. Anything you can do to save the cagebuilder's time will help them out, and save you some money.

My car now - It goes back to Piper in a week

 

good luck with the project

 

those pedals are tight son...

 

ricer pedals! u need mugen ones
