Interior is only worth 100 lbs. other misc crap like rear wiper, antenna, window motors & such is another ~40lbs. If you have a cage there are more supports you can take out for another ~25 lbs.koji126 wrote:Remove your interior...aEntity wrote:I have a regular gs w\ a b18b in it. <---sorry i had no money

Remove your interior, then pull up the carpet. Under the carpet is sound deadening material. Get dry ice and put it down on this material. Wait a few minutes to let it all freeze. Then bash it all out with a hammer! Oh and I have weighed my R without gutting anything, and then after gutting all interior except carpet, drivers seat, and both door panel's. I pulled out just under 200lb's. Also you can put yourself on a diet too! lol

Nitrous kit- $500
Blowing your motor when attempting to run a Type-R- PRICELESS!!!

I just shipped the seats - they are ~45lbs each. However, you have to put something back in...so 200 for just interior pieces is a bit exaggerated. I've got to weigh the cage we just put in & then continue subtracting the excess weight.knowledge wrote:Remove your interior, then pull up the carpet. Under the carpet is sound deadening material.

fwiw - I always weigh my car on the scales at Heartland Park during SCCA events. I'm assuming their scales should be good since it determines qualification.knowledge wrote:Seriously I pulled out 200lbs. Or the scale at Sacramento raceway is screwed up...
Anyway, I weighed the car before and after the interior so the only stock pieces left were dash, center concole, power motors for mirrors and windows, and 2 stock seats.
Still need to take out the black brace under rear seat location, silver rear bar, but I'm leaving the mirror & window motors in. I'll eat that 15lbs
