There's thread all about this here. That pretty much goes over all of the stuff you can do. In the end tho it really depends on how far you want to go.

i was told that to lose weight out of my 90 coupe i had to stop eating the mcgangbangs every day!

thats true. if your overweight its a good idea to go on a diet. shedding 50lbs of driver weight is better than shedding 50lbs of car weight. mainly because its 50lbs that will also make you healtheir.

it doesn't matter.you could take everything out of a cb exept a drivers seat and they're still heavy as shit.

It is heavy but when you strip "everything" but the drivers seat, its gonna be close to 2300-2200lbs (still drivable)
It is better to concentrate on adding power IMO

What about kentucky accord's car? He got it under or at least right around the 2000 lb. mark.

2000lbs is doable; but don't plan on being able to sell the car if you do this.

You will probably need some aftermarket parts, a carbon fiber hood, lexan, a light seat, some light wheels, and a small battery.

You will need to completely strip the car, remove all sound deadening, cut off all brackets that were holding the parts you removed, remove the rear bumper support, gut the front bumper, get a header and put a light cherrybomb muffler right after the collector, either get a carbon fiber trunk or gut the stock trunk, cut out the trunk bottom(it actually weighs A LOT) and weld some thin sheet metal in there, ditch the center beam and stock crossmember and make your own unit, ditch the dashboard, ditch any wiring you dont need, ditch the stereo, A/C and heater, remove the sunroof if you have an EX, cut/gut all doors besides the drivers door and weld them to the body, get a Civic radiator from a junkyard, remove anything that isnt necessary under the hood, make an aluminum intake manifold, get an 8lbs flywheel, ditch the wipers, you can also do a little more cutting inside and in the engine bay without affecting anything..... all this should definitely bring you down to ~2000lbs

I think it would be cool. Or you could just buy an 89 Civic hatchback and it is already 2000lbs lol

i should jus ride a bike but wow that is alot of things i can get rid of

Just follow that link. You decide how far you want to go.

he cut sheet metal out though, it aint practical.

Oh, I know. Just saying that he got that car down to the same weight as a Civic.


It WAS probably pretty unsafe though.

im cutting the door panel sheet metal out too but it is to make room for the cage. so im adding integrity att he expense of weight.

Yeah, that's different, and probably better. I think his goal was just to get the car as light as he possibly could. Nothing wrong with it, but if he ever got into an accident, it could've gotten ugly.


And kind of getting off topic, but what's the status on your project car?
