i can see the entire system weighing that much. All those metal tubes and such...

 

the ac stuff is pretty heavy
i recently had my ac compressor replaced

 

Lol, it can... a lot of muscle cars turned drag cars don't have their A/C Systems in. Evaporater alone in some of those cars is like 25lbs.

Some of those stripped out Hatchback Civics are just a drivers seat, steering wheel, and shifter. Uncomfortable, yes.. quick.. some...

 

uhm I will start with 3515lbs and about 280HP under the new ratings so without taking anything out of my car I am already at 12.55 lbs per HP. I'll stick with:

bank vault quet cabin
heathed leather seats
6cd changer
moon roof
kickingengine
excellent fuel economy
148.6mph top speed (verified with teh ol' GPS :P )

lol what would you rather take on a road trip, a gutted car that is slower and WAY NOISIER or a loaded car that is faster?........ I would never gut a daily driver and would only gut a track car.........oh and PS, chicks usually do not dig gutted cars.......

 

PS - If using our car to get chicks is all that really mattered to us, we couldn't be driving hond accords.

Some of us have more to offer than riding around in a "luxury oriented" import.

 

Zero: Muscle cars have much larger engines and thus larger, heavier compressors. Our compressors would fall apart under the torque changes of those engines. I'd estimate the AC removal to save about 25 lbs. 5 lbs per coil = 10 lbs. (probably less) 12 lbs for the compressor (give or take 3 lbs.) maybe a pound for the lines.

The compressor for a 5-ton home AC system only weighs about 25-40 lbs. and a car has a 1/4 - 1/2 ton system. Also, almost everything in the system is thin tube aluminum, other than the compressor.

 

No one said to do this to your daily driver... I even recommended it for track, which I doubt any Accords on here do.

And the line I put in bold makes no sense. The point this whole thread is making is lighter=faster..... We're sorry, we're not worthy of you[sm=smiley32.gif]

 

haha ..... and his 1990 240 will smoke your CL when he gets the RB20 in it!!!

Give me another year and my tc will smoke your CL!!!!

 

instead of making my car a pos that one could not even sell for a decent amt when you are ready to get rid of it, I would start with a FASTER CAR.............saving up for something faster up front = way less hassle of trying to make it faster because you are not happy with it.

gutting a car is like watching a bunch of retards trying tomake love toa door ****.........it serves nopurpose.....hey look at me I got a gutted out car that cannot even beat a guy on a bicycle......... but hey to each their own.

 

But not every one can afford to start with a faster car. I was just giving a suggestion of being faster for free... I would only suggest gutting a car fully like this when you go to the drag strip or when u have money on an upcoming race. Just imagine the look on the other guys face when you pull up with the car totally stripped and your sitting on a bucket ready to race!!! He'd probably say WTF, thisguys crazy and drive off very confused...lol
