1/8 mile times
 
Im going to start drag racing my accord and im just wandering what can help out my 1/8 mile times a little bit( the dragstrip out here isnt 1/4 mile) Should i take out my back seat and speakers to lose some wieght or would that not help that much.

yea and your spair*... hummmmmmmm passenger seat...... carpet... trim from the inside....... that kinda stuff.... i say this thinking that you are going to use this car for nothing but dragging....

what engine mods do u have??....its not even worth stripping the interior cept for the spare tire...any subs/equipment and maybe the pass. seat..and back seats....its not THAT much weight with the panels inside etc...

isn't it only like 1hp per 100 lbs you remove? I'd say it is not worth it unless your like trying to shave tenths of seconds and your running under 13's which you are probably not but what are your mods?

I believe that on average, its 0.1 seconds/100 lbs.

im actually running 11.2's in the 1/8. i have no engine mods what so ever. but recently i made a rather important discovery, my o2 sensor is right after my headers meaning i can gut my cat. im probally not going to use this car for drag racing i just wanted to see how fast it would go. my buddy has a plymouth laser, i might start helping him build that

I don't see the point in gutting a perfectly good car, especially a (relatively) heavy Accord. Build up the Laser, it's always more fun to destroy someone else's car.
