i was going to post on this, but i hit page 2 accidently and missed the whole first page. so, nevermind. way to put the numbers and options out there for them though man. the only thing i thought of was, i like my windows to be glass, and i heard/read that the 84-85 glass (doors, quarter, front and rear windsheilds) are thinner and lighter. another option. and the entire sunroof cassette is metal, high weight has gotta go.

dsmurillo your post is in the wrong forum.

Regarding weight reduction, Ive only taken out all the A/C system and have the replaced the stock seats with lighter weight ones, but honestly, I reckon (without a tank of gas and me :P) the car should way around ~1010kg, lol however it wont when I swap in an M50 XD

Uh, pretty sure Hp stays the same, but a less weight for it to carry. At any rate = go faster!

honda will work the use the same 4 100 mm spacing as the E30s. but the hub is alil smaller on the civic space saver as the E30s so u will have to strecth it out alil. but it will work fine. i have a flat once and i used my buddys doughut. from his civic and i had no promblem.
