Ok i have a 96 accord and the shit weights 2 tons.. litterally 3950, i was wondering how much lighter a carbon fiber hood would be compared to a regular stock hood, cuz i need to lighten that shiz fast. thanks

 

if you're really concerned with weight, sell it and buy a civic, that should take off a lot

 

Nah i think i will jsut lighten this puppy up, and get a swap, since i gotta swap a civic too if i got one. stock civics are slower than i am not, and i'm not Vtec. soooo anyways, anyone know the answer to the original question

 

Look into a lightweight battery as well. Thats a lot cheaper way of loosing weight then a cf hood.

 

my battery is 11.5 pounds. the stock one is ~35-40 pounds.

the cf hood is considerably lighter than the stock hood obviously, but i couldn't tell you how much more. you should look into getting lightweight wheels, as losing rotational weight will be your best bet.

 

where did you guys go to get the lighter batteries, i mean is that some advanced auto stuff, or should i go to autosolution, and as far as lighter wheels, i got stock steelies, but some rims are damn expensive too.

 

Rota subzeros, ats comp lites, and kosie k1's are good, light, cheap wheels.

 

you got a plasma gun, i'll take care of you weight issues in one evening. There are alot of things you can do if you're willing to sacrifice some comforts and safety. But a cf hood is a good way to shed some pounds. It helped me out majorly.

 

Thanks for all the help guys, i know i need to take out all the AC units, since it doesn't work anyways, that should help me, and thanks for the different rims. if anyone has more info or advice, still post. peace
