Anyone put their balt on a serious diet? Stripped interior, ac delete, manual locks and windows, lexan glass replacement, gutting the dash, etc. Im looking for how much weight your alterations saved you, as well as your total wieght after all your work.

 

your lt doesnt need to lose weight

 

 

just get an ss

 

before someone else says it... /self

 

X2

 

idk how anyone would have purposely bought a non SS car if they were doing anything other than driving to work in it... my mom has a G5 Sport and i still hate it lol. my SS/TC is still ehh in a strait line but around a corner i love it...

 

Sleeper build, and why drop 20k on a ss only to tear it apart, easier to spend less on a base model and build it the way I desire.

 

maybe buy the TC kit or SC kit to make it a sleeper before you rip all your interior out?

 

Wr is a entirely useful mod you idiots. I cant remember the username but a ion owner from quebec did serious wr on a base ion and ran a low 14 I think?

As to the just buy an ss that is also idiotic. If op plans on doing a custom turbo kit then why buy an ss just to ditch the stock manifolds and k04/m62.

I might be wrong but on a budget you can buy the sstc suspension bodykit and wheels for cheaper than an actual ss. ah yes the user name is huckernage op, search him up he will help you with wr

 

Quit busting the guys ***** for having an LT and answer his question....

 

Already have 90% of the turbo kit. Waiting for the an fittings and my oil pan to get back from the welder and then its go time.

 

yeah his name is huckerage I believe. He has youtube vids at the track proving that the weight reduction mod definetly works. Plus he has full bolts ons, cams, and trifecta tune. Preatty damn fast n/a vehicle.

 

another fellow 2.2 turbo 25 psi and still running strong

 

there is a video on here about getting rid of some weight but its not serious. youd have to do some searching online and see what others are doing with there cars.


Weight reduction: An overview and a few ideas - HondaClub.com - Online forum for Honda and Acura owners

basically remove everything from the inside of the car. the spare tire, jack, carpets, sound deadening material, plastics, roof liner, seats, stereo, speakers, airbags.

if you wanna go crazy buying lightweight body panels. removing large metal items (like bumpers).

get thinner glass made, or lexan.

remove power windows locks and mirrors.

remove gas tank (replace with fuel cell)

get rid of windshield washer fluid tank.

tubular a arms.

really it all depends on what your gonna do with the car, how illegal you wanna go and what the race restrictions are for your class, and how much money you wanna spend.

 

Have you got any videos, me wantz to takingz a looksee

 

then why dont you just get a civic... its cheap and they make a million parts for them

 

Also idiotic

 

 

why is it idiotic?? i would NEVER tear my SS/SC apart to lose what 100lbs? that rediculus. at the bar picking up a chick "yeah babe just sit on the ******* floor"

 

I wouldnt know I've never driven my car to the bar because I'm in no state to drive.

it is idiotic because the op asked about wr and your response is buy a civic. ******* worthless

 

If the car is going to be tracked it is not RIDICULOUS* I think he may want to do a weight reduction for other reasons than driving home from a bar with a girl.

 

And he never said anything about taking out his passenger seat.

 

i hate that sleeper build bullshit excuse. Why would i buy an SS to go fast and tear it down? might as well buy a piece of **** slow ass cheap model and build it before doing any research. Itll be a SICK sleeper. everyone will look at my car and go wow look at that slow ass piece of **** stock ass cobalt. i bet that dude cares about his gas milage and bought the gayest cobalt they offer. what a queer. And even if u WIN a race against another rediculously slow car, i bet you the other car would go wow is it worth getting rid of my ac, all my seats, all my interior panels, and getting ******* roll up windows just to pull half a car on another slow turd. Eff that. let me go put the AC on and listen to that new kanye album

 

im just saying if its a track car and u dont wanna spend too much money then a civic is cheaper no like those crx ones for like 1000$

99% of people on here use their cobalt for everyday stuff like groceries and picking up friends and driving around and yes picking up chicks too jesus.

my point is valid look at that video where that civic beats a CTS-V modded to the bone and that lil civic sohc with a ebay turbo just eat him alive...
