i would disagree with most of the people here. weight reduction does make a difference, but it all depends on how much power you have. what is your motor setup? doing a weight reduction on a stock or little mod car. it would be a waste of time just to take off 1/8 of a second. but if your running under 15s, weight reduction will help out as much 1/4-1/2 depending on how much weight taken off.

ya'll saying it isn't worth it are dumb asses.

The tar/sound deadening material alone is a good 40 lbs. Seats are 35ish, spare and jack is a bunch more

the saying that I have always heard and go by is "every 100 lbs you can remove you cut off 1/10 of a second"

all im saying is that he probbly wont notice a difference...my friend had a eg hatch, fully built GSR motor, and turbo'd....runing low 13's (un-tuned)...he went through all the work of ripping out his carpet, headliner, back seats, tire, jack, even scraping off the tar....he didnt notice a difference....now i dont know what kind of power this kid's civic has, but if its just a normal civic with the basic bolt-ons, then he might as well keep all the comfortability of having a full interior

if it doesnt make a difference why is the calsonic skyline gutted or steph's civic gutted or the arta nsx etc.?

 

[slambed_civic]

when youve got no more than 100 WHP why the f**k would 100 lbs matter?

 

[HomeGrown]

every pound matters. I would do what ever it takes to win

youve got no clue.... the only time weight like that even matter is when youre running like 10s....

im talking about the power to weight ratio. you are right that at the line is doesnt make that big a diff. i think we are getting sidetracked from the main idea of the post

and somehow you manage to compare 100,000 dollar cars to 10,000 dollar cars.... wtf? the main idea of this thread was to get some pixers of a gutted EK... even so, gutting a 100 hp car is so incredibly pointless. not to mention if its an everyday driver.... its gonna be so damn uncomfortable.... witha full interior my car only weighs 2094lbs... no point in taking things out....

ok, calm down

 

[slambed_civic]

ok, calm down

no... everyone wants to make a big deal about it, and they got what they wanted.....now its a big deal....

y don't people ever consider losing weight themselves

lol, my friend weighs about 350 and drove a stock EX (intake and muffler) to a 15.9....
ima fat ass too so yes it should be considered

a gutted 5th gen ex coupe weighs less than the si hatch.. the weight is the only advantage the si hatch has over the ex coupe and is the only reason it runs faster times.
a friends dad is a weighmaster driver and weighed the two cars for us
he only guts it the day of the races when he takes his car to the tracks. for daily driving it's just retarded

oh yeah, my huffy weighs less than your sedan
still running with the mighty 106hp in that sedan? oh wait, that muffler adds like 20-30whp doesnt it?

no you f**king smart ass, im runing 127hp and the axleback exhaust was free... so why would i say no?not to mention that there is supposed to be a type R rear lip on there which might explain why the exhaust is so low...

 

[slambed_civic]

i was only stating a simple fact... then you wanted to get all ghey on me... this thread is about weights, is it not?
