I need some help, I am looking to shave some weight off of my 97 civic dx. The problem is I am going to have a system in there in about a month and want to keep my backseats as well. What are some other good ways to lessen the weight without taking out the sound deadening material or the rear seats? Let me know, thanx.

take a shit, take a piss, throw up, run on almost empty, cut top off, no muffler, let the car rust, run 13 inch wheels, track shoes, shave your head, pubes and ass, take your contacts out (wait, no dont do that), remove the shifter boot, and cut your fingernails and toenails.

you forgot to tell him to take out the entire interior, except pedals and shifter- if he's drag racing he only needs to go straight anyway, just look the wheels straight and throw that steering wheel out the window

man i want some lexan for the rear windows for my ef
the hwole interior is stripped but i think im putting a non-functional integ dash in there just for looks, all the other shit is gone though
if you HAVE to put a system in there and are concious about weight, you better get highquality stuff with lots of power and less subs, and use a fiberglass box,
