    But yes the K is coming even I know that.. I have two light weights that would love to have a K as a heart!!!

    Until then these cars will run on a diet, that includes me.. I may not win them all, but I will not be drug ether!!

    Muwahahahah!!
    It's getting a little crazy already. 2 years ago 300whp was quite a feat. Now people can do it with off the shelf parts. Can't imagine a couple more years from now...

    I dunno how you claim such low weights on your cars. I could find maybe 50lbs to take out of the EG and I think that would be all without cutting it and it would still be well over 2000lbs with me in it.

    Choice of car.. compare the 94 to the 92 & 93cx then the std 88 civic to other dx models.. then pull bumper beams, heater/ac box.. Then subtract weight for susp, I don't go rear disk because it's more..LOL

    Red Bubble with front and rear seats, all panels weighs 2010lbs with me in it.. I weighed it at the cobb dump 2 years ago, it no longer has the skunk2 coilovers or lower control arms.. It did have steelies at the time though.

    Stock listed weight
    1993 Honda Civic CX HB MT 2094 lbs
    1988 Honda Civic HB MT 1933lbs
