i'm just curious what kind of track times can be seen from a stock 1g awd with just weight reductions. i plan on taking out the a/c crash bars, p/s, back seats, passenger seat and all the shit from the hatch. what kind of times can i expect out of this? my next step will be free mods and and exhaust, front mount, and some kind of tuning. this is after tune up and making sure i'm up to date w/ all maitinance. thanks for the input in advance.
 
idk whats up with all the negitive feedback, yes i do own a honda, and i just got a 90 talon tsi awd. i have many friends with dsm's and def a couple that are alot faster than anyone on this sight will ever own. i'm just wondering how much weight reductions can cut off my time being that the car is stock other than 2.5 inch tbe. it was just a simple question, i was hoping someone on here would have had a stock dsm w/ weight reductions and already took it to the track. so no need for anymore negitive responses. thanks
 
take it to the track and find out and compare it to the stock times of the car with everything in it.



i would love to do that, too bad the track around me is going to be closed for a while because they are re-doing it. so until then this is the best i can really do.
