I worked on her some more today. (no pics though) Before I pulled the d15 last weekend I weighed the car as is. All the extra trim was in the back and anything else that *should* be on the car. Only things missing was the carpet and the l/f fender. Weighed in at 1916lbs. Fuuuuck yeah!!!
Today my task was to just clean stuff up BUT i ended up ripping the dash out and removing the firewall padding. The only thing left forward of the seats was the wiring harness cause I was too tired to take the door panels off. Im going to replace the ENTIRE harness with a universal harness like they use in race cars/ hot rods. I did a kit in my truck and it was pretty easy. Ill just need to adapt to the Honda connectors at the Ign switch, blower motor and switch, and all the exterior lights. No fluff goin back in. Lights, defrost, and horn. Right now the only things left under the hood, other than brakes and engine, is the wiper motor and the washer tank.
I ended up taking out an extra 70lbs of usless shit. That puts me below 1850 with a d series. The B will weight more plus turbo and all but it wont be too bad. I still have all the rear interior panels, headliner, etc that needs to come out as well as the wiper motor and the full washer tank. I see sub 1800 coming soon!!!!
Im getting excited on the progress. Right now its all mock up. The tranny at least has to come back out. I left the flywheel/clutch out on purpose.
I need to get a radiator and intercooler so I can start routing piping. Im gonna do hard piping to the radiator. I like the way it looks and less likely for something to rub a hole through it. Overall, it might add a pound or two but no biggie. Ive decided to go with a VW Scirocco radiator. Its tall enough to tuck under the front T-bar and still have room for the intercooler. The IC will be double back door and Im tryin to not cut the bumper at all. Then sprayed flat black straight up Ninja Style!!!
