Reducing Weight on 94 dx

[Jakethesnake]

I'm planning on making my 94 accord dx a hybrid...but i also want to reduce the weight of the car because it's a family car and it doesn't have enough balls to make it go fast....anyways i'm going to put a h22a into the accord and planning on getting a turbo for it too, but becuase the family sedan weights so much i dont think that the new engine will help much.....any suggestions on alternative and lighter parts and i might able to put on it????

are you going to drive the car on a daily basis, if not then "gut out" the whole interior and buy one race seat and buy a one piece fornt end and there are other options.if you are driving it every day then i would think about getting someting else drive everyday and keep that car for racing only just my .02.

1) Go on a diet
2) CF hood
3) remove unwanted seats
4) remove carpet
5) lighter wheels
6) lighter flywheel
7) remove AC

the possibilities are endless... but you give up comforts

how much does a standard hood weight and how much of a differance is the CF hood?

personally i would just get a one piece front end but if you want a carbon fiber hood they are about 50% lighter than stock.
