hey how many pounds do you think all get rid of if i rip out all the molding and seats -front seats back? and the a/c unit,jackand tire,flooring, head board and the heater. if i rip out the a/c and heater will i have to change to an smaller belt on the pullys. i have an 90 civic si hb ed7

 

you will prolly save close to 100 lbs....and the heater wont effect your belts, but if you take the A/C pully off, then yes, you will have to convert to a non a/c accesory belt...

 

I wouldn't remove the heater...

 

The A/C belt should be seperate from everything else. Really that stuff doesn't weigh as much as you think it might, I took all the heater / air conditioner out of my '95 and put it in a box before scrapping the rest of the car, and it wasn't hard to lift that box.

 

leave most of that stuff in and drive comfortably and not so ghetto lookinif u wana go fast, build the engine/suspension. u wont be losing enough weight to make a very dramatic difference.

 

thanks guy's i wasnt thinking all those things i was just going to get rid of everything thinking that it would help things and more HP. getto is right! i dont know, i was thinking roll bars i guess
thanks for help!

 

the benefit of ripping all that stuff out is about the same as adding a CAI to your stock civic... the benefit is very small and it looks G-hetto... only do it if you are a hard core racer, and in that case, dont go with a Honda econobox get a 240 or RX7 or some other faster car lol... I just have one because I love the reliability, gas mileage, and ease to work on...
