how can i remove weight

Young Money (K20) · 06-08-2008, 09:00 PM

how could i remove about 100 pounds of weight without sacraficing things like rear seats

***mattsbobo*** · 06-08-2008, 09:03 PM

Lose weight, remove all sound deadening material, take out AC, and all radio equipment, take out spare tire+all equipment, buy lighter wheels (pretty much ANY aftermarket wheel is lighter than stock Si wheels).

But taking out at least the rear seats would help your quest exponentially.

Edit: Taking out all the sunroof equipment would REALLY help you out, but then you'd have to figure out how to get a blockoff piece fabricated.

the rear seats are pretty light.

SoCal07Si · 06-08-2008, 09:08 PM

remove the hood, doors and trunk lid

The 17" steel wheel spare & tool kit will get you halfway there because they weigh 50lbs.

I'm getting ready to remove the carpet, center console & rear door panels as soon as the Mugen Si Quickshifter gets in my hands. I've already removed everything from the backseats back into the trunk.

I wish someone made a plug for the moonroof that way I could remove those 50-60 lbs from the top of the car. Oh & how bad I want to remove the passenger seat too but the airbag light will go off on the dash.

could drop a bunch of money and buy that carbonfiber roof and replace the whole dang thing

SoCal07Si · 06-08-2008, 09:29 PM

I've seen a CF piece in the place of the moonroof

02civicsi · 06-08-2008, 09:29 PM

Oh if I had that kind of loot bet your mile high a$$ I would've been first in line for that sh#t.

SoCal07Si · 06-08-2008, 09:32 PM

It's all good dude, I do remember seeing somewhere on here about a CF moonroof blockoff plate. It was kind of pricey IIRC.

replace both front seats with buddy club race seats (11lbs each) and live with the airbag dash lights
