weight loss

[nater_si]

Whats the easies way to take the back seat out. I'm trying to do a weight reduction on my 03 si. Any other way to lose some weight on this car.

No easy way on taking the back seat out, only 1 way.

If you're looking to loose some weight on the car, there are lots of stuff you can do.

Spare Tire & tools
Spare Tire Cover
Back Seat
Trunk Hatch Cover
Driver & Passenger Side Panels
Rear Speakers
Rear Seat Belt
Rear Wiper
Glove Box
Floor Center Console
Passenger Side Seat
Lose some weight

Lots more....just take out whatever u can and the car still moves.

With the spare tire/tools/cover, back seat, and rearside panels all gone the car went a whole lot faster. Tooked it all out when I sound proof the car.

I think trippz went on that but for some reason it only worked on himself........ I told him to quit drinkin so much gas, but i guess it burned his fat right off......

I think that people that call that # end up crashing or geting into a accident in there EP. I'll just take the Hollywood miracial 48 hour diet!

You can also take out the sunroof and replace it with a carbon fiber piece. And drive on a close to empty tank of gas;)

Yeah, and if you take that heavy ass engine out, the EP will be much much lighter!! :D

[cryptic02si]

I chopped mine from the doors up. No more heavy glass, roof, etc. Sorry no pics. My digital is broken.

[eggsi]

you are joking right? i wonder what a droptop ep would look like, it would handle like a wet noodle.

[cryptic02si]

Yeah, I'm joking. I didn't think anyone would take me seriously, but now that I reread it, I guess I should've added a lol or something.

bumper covers, bumpers, change your wheels to blackies or jus get ultra lightweight 15"s, center console, dash, anything plastic really... take off trunk, all glass, better yet, chop the top off... basically anything that doesnt have any true mechanical function that helps move the car can go... i remember some mag did this to some sentra a while ago... stripped it as much as stripped could be to gain like 15 hp or something lol

naw, seriously, like raiyo said... but also heater core, ac, plexiglass replacement for any glass pieces, and removing or changing out that black layer on the bottom of the car will help lose a lot of weight too... wait... we dont have that do we??? well like stated up above, lighter wheels deffinately help.

who's got the formula for weight loss to hp gain?

[SiRman]

who's got the formula for weight loss to hp gain?

Car weight/hp = X lbs per HP.

You don't actually gain any horsepower by droping wieght.
But losing X lbs off the car from the above formula is the equivalent of adding 1HP

Randomish numbers here:

2800lbs/ 150hp = 18.66lbs per HP

So with these numbers you have to take 18.66lbs off the car to get the effect of adding 1 HP.
