Re: weight reduction

Yes it will. Every little bit matters, but in order to actually notice it, you'll probably have to drop a couple hundred pounds.

the most important factor in acceleration is power to weight ratio
reduce weight = accelerate faster

braking distance and effort are also greatly affected by weight
reduce weight = better braking

handling of a car through a corner is also affected by weight
reduce weight = better handling

weight affects almost every aspect of a vehicles performance.

every pound that you can lose will help, but use common sense.
don't remove anything that could compromise you or your passenger's saftey.
don't remove anything that will harm your vehicles performance.
and allthough removing the cars interior will remove significant ammounts of weight, girls don't like riding in gutted cars, so don't do this to your daily driver. unless you don't like girls.

Re: weight reduction

Start with lightweight rims. It's probably the easiest way to reduce weight without gutting your car or needing a meth diet plan. LOL

Re: weight reduction

ok you guys might be the only people in this world to understand me i once told my girlfriend i was taking out my backseats just in my big ass 93 prelude and she almost shit her self. so girls do hate it . but you should strip it , strip it to the bare bone im talking chassis, motor, and steering wheel strip that bitch like its never been strip befor . do it for all the man that can , because they still have the dream of getting laid by there power triping girlfriends that dont pay for the car but want to control everything about it .




sorry i have things on my mind








but yes it helps
