| The "new" civic is a 1992 CX hatchback! curb weight is 2094!! not too bad.... current project is getting the weight to *under* 2000 lbs. the weight of the car when I bought it was 2225 lbs.!! that is with a half tank of gas (~30 lbs.) and a stripped back end.... I have since done the following: *removed A/C...36.5 lbs. (for sale....$170 shipped to you) *removed windsheild wiper fluid....7.5 lbs. (almost full) *removed passenger side mirror....2.5 lbs. *removed some minor interior pannels....2 lbs. *replaced stock wheels/tires....saved ~1 lb. ea. (but gained a ton of traction) *replaced stock steering wheel....saved ~5 lbs. (and it removes!) Anyway....curb weight adjusted with no gas is only 2139 lbs. right now...not bad. that is with a full swap (only 1.6 liter though with ITR head, IHE w/ no cat) I will post part weights as I go....if there is any interest, email me at [email protected] here is a pic of the car before I bought it......if I get bored enough, I will write all kinds of information for you guys!!! ;-) how to maximize your power to weight ratio! cheap speed! *rotational inertia *static weight loss *many links to weights and good deals on the better parts *lots of suspension setup ideas and setups....and more!!! lol... ;-) |
