| Don't bother with your backseats. _I doubt they weight 20-30 pounts (probably more like 10-15 lbs) and removing them IMO make the car is more riced out. _All that weight reduction does little in real performance. _Take away 100lbs and you reduce your ET's by about .1 - big deal. _<p>If you want real power, IMO your only option is Forced Induction. _There are a lot of Good turbo kits out for the Prelude. _Try Drag or RevHard. _Don't buy Japanese crap, and forget about I/H/E. _<p><p>(Edited by reno at 2:59 pm on Aug. 29, 2001) |

| i agree with reno. dont bother stripping weight off, it won't make much difference unless you can rip out some real heavy stuff. pulling things out of the interior isn't gonna cut it.<p>go with a turbo kit and learn how to set it up to run safely.<p>my 2 cents |

Practice driving and that will make up for any milliseconds you'll gain from weigh reduction.<p> |
