3510 Tell me you have some weight reductuion planned, 3510 that is insane every 100 pounds is a tenth if im not mistaken.I've definately looked into it, but it would not be easy. Remember this is a street/strip/showcar. As much as I would like to knock 1000 lbs off the car, I just can't bring myself to cutting it up. Just too nice of a car. It's a full weight '99 GSX. Power everything, a/c, abs, cruise, sunroof, add-on stereo equipment, etc, etc, etc,........

Here's what I have considered;.....

Carbon fiber hood (save at the most 30 lbs for $400)
Remove the carpet padding (save maybe 30 lbs)
Aftermarket racing seats (save maybe 80 lbs for $1000)

I might do the C/F hood anyway because I really like the way it looks on the NSX and other white Eclipses I've seen.

I am open to any reasonable suggestions. :cool:

Definitely do not start cutting up the car. A carbon fiber hood would look sweet. For saving 30 pounds, I don't think removing the carpet padding would be worth it.

Congrats on the times!

Those are some nice pics. Your buddy has a nice NSX....best looking one I've seen yet. That's not owned by a racing shop or some extrememly rich person. A C/F hood would look awesome on your car. Then take some more pics with the NSX and the picture would look better than those up there. Congrats on the wins.

I still think you need to show some of the 'lil boyz over at Toonerz what some clean power truly looks like.

You are definately in need of a stage 3 weight reduction.

Man, you need to get that thing down to 3400lbs like mine. At least in a crash versus a 2800lb 1G AWD we might win. Now you 1G guys know why all us 2Gs are so damn slow. We don't even have heavy electric seatbelts or heavy metal bumpers to remove to get the weight down easy.
