can anybody honestly tell me how much time im going to shave off my quarter if i ripped out the back seats, spare, etc. just trying to see if its actually worth it

 

you might get a tenth if even that

 

probably not worth it

 

i lost about 2 10ths when i pulled out my right headlight (short ram intake) i figured it could make a difference

 

i think you were quicker because your intake had nothing blocking it and thus could suck up a whole bunch of air. I dont think you shaved off 2 10ths because you took off a 4 lb headlight

 

head light has got 2 be less than 4 lbs, that shit is more like 1.5

on some real sh*t , how can we make our car extremely lighter for around 500-1000 bucks?

i can feel u on this note because i have a huge box and towels/blankets in the trunk and i figure

if i get rid of that shit and make a smaller box + carbon fiber parts + maybe getting rid of the

wipers / wiper motor + no spare + (bueller , ..... anyone ? )

 

take out the motor, i heard that saves a whole lot of weight

 

there isnt really anything you can take out thats worth it

 

come on people. theres got to be something that makes our car so damn heavy.

doors? power steering?

 

lol yes, take off the doors

 

yeah, can you runs 1/4 on a running board and a engine... a f8cking rail buggy or something... now that would be sweet...

guy rolls up with an acura engine and a f8cking car frame.... come on bitch.... lets race...

 

cf doors?

 

i read in an old honda tuning about them cutting up an old 17sec sentra...they took and cut apart everything but the frame and seats and with all the weight gone..it ran a 14.x.....so just chop your car up and itll be fast

 

it has been done before...not a CL though

 

.....

I heard you'll gain 100hp if you drink Ketel 1 Vodka.

 

basically, its .1 for every 100lbs

so back seat + spare + jack = .1-.2

if you take out all the engine plastics, smaller battery, racing seats, door skins, radio, speakers, center console, and unbolt the exhaust system you would start to see real gains...

 

Realistially for you, it is a waste of time.

 

un ture justin its 4.87 lbs a total of 9.7 lbs for both headlights, i know i just shipped some out of state

 

dang, I was close, I was just taking a wild ass guess

 

if its now how you would run on the street then why would you do a bunch of shit for a 1/4 time seems silly to me

 

Can always get rid of your fat girlfriend
that will save a bunch of weight ........................j/k

 

the best way to lose weight is to buy a CAI, header, catback, and aftermarket CD player and speakers. they all weigh less than their stock counterparts and make you go faster ....whee!


oh, and ill sell you my 13" rims off my 1983 accord hatchback. FULL alloys.....

 

No, you're right.

 

after market speakers generally have heavier magnets and also more resilient cones, which often weigh more..... after market decks have more powerful amplifiers and have additionsl inputs and outputs, often making them heavier as well.

your catback would have to be made of titanium before it made a difference, the muffler is where the weight is.

 

 

Change all your windows to the T-fal plastic windows like the ones in nascar I think you can get them from the nopi online catalogue, get a carbon fiber hood and go with 16" light weight rims. These mods should shave off some weight.

 

and for the record there should have been a comma somewhere in my last post i fully realize that i dropped a few 10ths cuz i took the headlight out and got more air. i didnt mean i lost a few tenths becuase i took off the headlight (weight) get off my back

 

 

yeah i took out my bumper lights and it gained 12whp

 

 

better air flow, colder charge

 

really 12whp.. i have a short ram so right headlight would do the trick.. but i didnt try it, i didnt go down psi in the front and had 7/8 of a tank of gas.. next time i will try for a best time

 

Yeah but 12 whp seems like an awful lot......

 

haha i think it was a riced out comment

 

sarcasm > you
