weight reduction

[imported_weknowls]

Ok, I have a sedan civic, and I am trying to think of things to take out that are not like my passenger seat, or anything, I mean I took out my backseats and stripped the trunk, now I just need to think of some other things. What about the ac, would it be worth it to take out the ac or not? oh yea, I have a jdm d15b in my civ

I have removed almost all of my sound deadening material, all my speakers except the front doors.
Lighter seats are one of my next steps along with a carbon fiber or fiberglass hood.

Decided AC was something I would rather keep. I could do without power steering though.

if you're not worried about blowing a tire, spare tire could go =P

you could drop 40 lbs by going w/ lightweight aftermarket seats.

ok, lol the spare tire is already out...

lol why don't you not strip it and just get a motor swap? or is this a strictly drag car? anyway I don't get why you want so much weight off lol that's funny Just get a b16 or somthing hah

well dropping weight benefits all aspects of performance where adding horsepower doesn't.

[imported_anubis155]

speed can be explained as a ratio between horspower and weight. why do you think bikes are so fast?

Gut everything imaginable inside of your car

Buy light weight rims/tires

Take some of your "un-needed" gears out (4th and 5th . . Rev. if you're hard core)

Get an aluminium flywheel, have it shaved down . . .

There are a ton of things you could do . . .

It just depends more or less on what kind of a ride it's going to end up being . . .
A drag'r, daily driver, or a rally x style, ya know.

I'm done blabbin' now, lol

later.
