was lookin on another forum posted by some1 in the racing section. Was Honda-tech.com i think, well anyways i saw this post there of an 1800lb crx. Are they all this light? Or did he have a lot of weight reduction and stuff... I don't know much about cars really but how light could I get my 92 GT without costing too much. I saw fiberglass doors on 5.0 resto along with a fiberglass hatch. It didnt say the weight differance really, but it'd be nice to know. Also, how much lighter is an Aluminum Block than an iron? My car currently weighs like 3200lbs right? Blegh that'd be nice though. Just getting a fartload of HP on an 1800lb car. Now I see why SOME people "beef up" those cars.</P>


Lots of questions I know, but I'm just a car-noob. </P><edited><editID>Obsol3te</editID><editDate>38025.8990509259</editDate></edited>

 

i heard people drilling holes throughout the frame to make them lighter. you can cut out 25lbs out of your doors by cutting out that impact plate inside your doors. get a k-member tubalar a-arms.alum heads...you know how much those freaken stock heads weigh? do you have power doors? i took all my a/c crap off that was 70lbs including my smog pump.

 

If you drive your Mustang on the street and plan to keep driving it on the street, then I wouldn't go drilling holes in the frame to reduce weight. That's structural man, and you don't want to be screwing with the structural rigidity of your car. Once the frame is tweaked, you're done, and you can kiss your car goodbye, unless you can afford the thousands of dollars to have the frame straightened. Some good ways to reduce weight are replacing all your glass with lighter weight materials like lexan, use fiberglass body panels, and if you really want to reduce frame weight, just invest in a tube chassis.</P>

 

well, lets say i was sitting on a pile of cash(which im not)</P>


how light can you get a 92 mustang without altering the frame?</P>


yeai got power everything btw...</P>


got rid of the AC, doors are heavy as f*** though.</P>


i hear getting rid of the back seat frees up 50-75 lbs? something around that...</P>

 

who's gonna ride with ya? mine weighs 2900lbs now and i'm not about to touch the frame too dangerous too alter the integerty (you know what i mean) of my car.

 

well ill keep the pasenger seat in case of alteast one person... but i RARELY if ever use the back seat of my car
