Jdmbb601 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Hey i know that the bb6 prelude is a pretty heavy car considering it is a coupe but are there any easy solutions to cuuting the weight?
airjordan223 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 are you looking to autocross this car? if you are, the back seats and all the rear carpet, the passenger seat, basically everything except for the drivers seat. if you still want it for a DD, then ac and power steering might help a little, but not muc

Chubs Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 I have done some weight reduction on mine, stripped trunk and removed spare, Seibon CF hood and trunk, removed AC
Chubs Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Also buying some Bride seats soon so that will help also

..SSR.. Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Remove the sound deadening material under the carpet and in the trunk. Remove the tar from the fender wells and under the chassis. Remove PS, AC, heater core, heater ducts, radio/speakers. Racing seats (real racing seats) remove airbags remove unnecessary wires lexan windows composite body panels titanium rods flywheel header headwork roller cams clutch radiator light wheels acid dip then stich weld the chassis (removes ~15% of the weight from the chassis) etc.
90IntegraC1 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 love it, wish the rims were gunmetal to go with the CF hood, but they still look great nontheless.
Pyrorocketeer Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 What is this stitch weld you speak of.....? I know what it is......its a technique in welding to reduce heat warp..... how may I ask does this drop 15% of the weight?
..SSR.. Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 The acid dip dissolves some of the metal of the chassis. Also dissolves all glue, tar, etc on the chassis. 15% of the bare chassis weight, not the gross chassis weight.
dumkopf Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 The acid dip dissolves some of the metal of the chassis. Also dissolves all glue, tar, etc on the chassis. 15% of the bare chassis weight, not the gross chassis weight. Sounds expensive. How much would that set you back?
Pyrorocketeer Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I've heard of ppl gettin whole cars done for around $400
dumkopf Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 That's a whole lot cheaper than i expected. I was thinking in the tens of thousands
Ben. Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Also buying some Bride seats soon so that will help also good god man. bride = high (but FTMFW!)
