so i finally made a website on the weight reduction on my car. i have weighed everything and it is as accurate as i could get it. its in my sig as well as here http://www.geocities.com/tek_civic/weight.html

look at it and tell me what ya think,
sorry no pics yet; but there will be someday!

 

That's pretty cool and very informative. So removing the carpet saved 10 pounds? really?

 

ya i was kinda pissed that it was only 10, but then again what can ya expect?

 

I didn't even think it'd be 10. i thought more like 2 or something.

 

pretty cool man good idea

 

well there is a lot of sound deadening stuff in there and thats also including the plastic trim on the sides of the door openings as they are attached to the carpet. thanks for looking!

ps its an analog scale so the readings may be off by 1-2 lbs max, but should be pretty accurate.

 

umm, the passensger seat is 35 lbs? what?!

 

ya! have you ever taken it out? its pretty hefty. at least in a 94 civic ex. it has lots of supports in it and the brakets below it weigh in too.

 

i took mine out.. 92 civic si hb..
not to heavy
didnt think it was heavier than all my kyb struts (21 lbs)

 

huh, thats strange. how did you weigh it? we reclined it all the way and balenced it on the scale, thats what we got. im 99% sure that the weight is at least accurate to 2-3 lbs. maybe the seats are different.
