I think this needs to end once and for all not just for me but i know alot of people are wondering how much each individual mod will reduce...

THE QUESTIONS,
how much wieght will be lost if....

1.rear seats are rear paneling is removed?

2.cruise control is remvoved?

3.A/C unit (condensor and all) is removed?

4.power steering is removed?

5.sun roof replaced with lexan?

6.window (glass) replaced with lexan?

7.ABS is removed?

8.replace standard gas tank with a race tank?

9.rear protection bumper is removed?

10.front protection bumper is removed?

11.you gut the trunk to bare metal?

If ya just place the #(i.e. "4.") and then the weight you will lose next to it.
Im not being bossy its just everyone keeps asking so this may get some information out to everyone.


thanks guys...

 

I removed my cruise control on my 5th gen to make room for my catch can and honestly I don't think there was more than a pound of weight worth of equipment there.

 

i heard that the a/c weighs a shizload

 

15lbs

5lbs

45-60lbs

15lbs

The metal sunroof doesn't weigh much, so I would say 10lbs.. Its the motor and track that weighs the most..

at least 70-100lbs, those front and rear windows are heavy!

Maybe 15lbs, mostly computer stuff

wouldnt' waste the time/money on a street car, the Tank doesn't weigh much, unless its full of fuel..

and have someone smash in the rear of your car, not worth the 20-30 lbs..

Would never do this, if your 20$ bumper doesn't stop something, then I guess your 500$ header and 100 radiator will....

well, taking the spare, jack/tools out, you will lose 30lbs, then 3-5 for the lining, then 5lbs for the sound deading, do maybe 40lbs total?

 

this is a very informative post!

 

On a 5th gen Prelude:
The sunroof/motor combo weighs 43 lbs.
The A/C lines, compressor, evap unit weighs 33lbs.

Nice to know which mods are actaully worth it.

 

SpeedLuder in this thread....
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=258951

look at his engine... its BARE.

are the mods he did worth it?
if so what mods did he do?
looks interesting... and yes im researching it as well...

 

60 pounds for AC!! ahahah no.

 

then how much for AC?

anyone see speedlude's post?

 

ok, maybe a little off w/ the AC.. But the compressor, Evaporator, condensor, freon and that heavy *** compressor mount sure does add up..

 

Dont forget the mounting bracket for the A/C, That alone is about 5 lbs.
God damn cast iron.

I took out the A/C compressor and bracket, when I put on my DC header.
Took it to the track and weighed it. 85 lbs less then it was a week before I was their and weighed it, had about the same amount of fuel 1/4 tank.
The header took off about 30 lbs and the A/C about 50 lbs..

 

humm... anything else?
